BE PATIENT WHEN ATTENDING TO CRAVING
Yogi: The mind can be peaceful and calm, but it lacks interest because wisdom is not coming
Sayadaw: You need to be patient. Not interested means that already you want something and when you cannot get what you want, the mind becomes bored. This is the nature of craving.
Just try to practice; think about the practice. If the mind has craving for understanding and it cannot get it immediately, the mind becomes bored and not interested.
You need to pay attention to how to practice the right way. You need to learn more; if you practice the right way continuously, slowly wisdom can arise. This is due to conditioning, not that you want it.
You can use questions to investigate – but they are not for getting answers, but to create interest in the process. That’s enough.
There’s no need to hurry; the practice is life-long.
