GETTING CARRIED AWAY BY ANY EXPERIENCE

Swiss Retreat 2019 Interviews 6 (0:54:46-1:00:42) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Yogi: When I was in a good state – feeling very peaceful, still and happy – I realized that the mind was thinking it was very good and that greed was digging in, but I just didn’t care.

Sayadaw: At that time, you have to watch the liking. There will be some agitation that comes with the liking and you must watch that.

We will keep facing these tests until we figure out how not to get caught, how to remain steady about just practicing and not get caught up in the magic of the experience and rely on the awareness and keep doing the awareness rather than get hypnotized by the experience.
