Yogi: Sitting after a while, there was an intention to end the sit; a thought says ‘Okay, stop meditating now’. Although Teacher says meditation is anytime and anywhere, but it is clear cut for me when meditation starts and when meditation ends.

Sayadaw: Don’t think that something is meditation and something is not meditation.

So long as while you’re not aware, you recognize when awareness comes in, ‘Ah, that’s one moment of awareness’, and if you appreciate that, it’ll grow.

Even when you’re watching TV and you’ve not been aware, suddenly, you recognize a certain feeling, meditation is already happening by itself. Be happy with that.

After that, you’re not aware again; after some time when you become aware again, meditation is happening again; and that is ok.
