WISDOM'S ROAR

REALITY OBJECTS ARE NOT AS OBVIOUS AS CONCEPTUAL OBJECTS

See this content in the original post

Yogi: The 6 senses as the object are too subtle for the awareness to be continuous

Sayadaw: Yes, because of concepts, the object is obvious. Reality (Paramatha) is not very obvious. (Between the contents of thoughts and knowing that thinking is happening, which is more obvious? The contents of thoughts are concepts; the thinking mind happening is reality.)

Only understanding can know reality; you need more wisdom to be aware of reality.

The Paramatha object is subtle; that’s why you cannot know it clearly.

So, whatever you notice is enough. When the awareness and wisdom become stronger, then the subtle reality objects will become clearer.
