PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Yogi: A lot of judging and disliking arise whenever I meet people. How can I be aware of that?

Sayadaw: It’s just practice – if you keep setting up an intention to be aware, it’ll come. 

Right now, you might know later and that’s fine. When you know is when you start; and then, it’ll get earlier and earlier.

We’re so skillful at being mindful of the body and not so skillful at noticing what’s happening in the mind; and that’s why we notice the mind later. 

It doesn’t matter – if we know later, we start then, and as we continue to practice it’ll get earlier and earlier.
