Yogi: Sayadaw, is your mind affected by your illnesses?
Sayadaw: Not much because whatever happens just happens.
Good or bad, we need to be aware. It is better that we take care of the quality of our mind because good or bad is just the experience.
That is why I say not to judge the experience one way or the other. If we judge that it is good, we get attached to the experience.
For example, we forget to be aware and enjoy the experience when we’re happy because there is no pain; as a result, we complain a lot when we’re sick.
