CHECK FOR EAGERNESS IN WHATEVER YOU DO – THAT’S MEDITATION

See this content in the original post

Yogi: I arrived late for the retreat – the body is tired but the mind is eager to meditate. Even during eating, the mind wants to recover quickly to meditate.

Sayadaw: There is no need to hurry to practice; you need to take the time to relax. Whatever you do, if you hurry (or are eager), craving comes and the practice becomes difficult.

Whenever lobha arises during eating, don’t try to change anything; just recognize that greed is present.
