Yogi: When I feel tired and sleepy off bed hours at retreat, should I sleep or not?
Sayadaw: Nothing is fixed. When there’s awareness, it allows wisdom to arise.
Always gauge for yourself without fixing an idea that this time I’ll do this or this time I’ll do that.
As you watch, wisdom’s decision to sleep or to watch can come.
We don’t know the future; we can’t decide it now – we just go with what wisdom tells us.
The nature of awareness is that if we persist in awareness, wisdom will arise – and then the understanding of what is necessary, suitable, or beneficial can arise. All we need to do is to be aware; we don’t have to choose the outcome – we just have to choose awareness.
