When I say ‘Don’t do something’, I don’t mean just that. What I mean is that it is unnecessary and unhelpful, but if it happens, we need to allow it.

So, if you notice that the mind is complaining (or being negative in any way), you need to notice just that. ‘Oh, the mind is complaining, and this is the result.’ Everything is up for awareness to know, and everything teaches us a lesson.
