Yogi: Other traditions say: Work ardently, persistently, and continuously. You say: Work lightly, persistently and continuously. Is that right?

Sayadaw: Practicing lightly, persistently and continuously, it’s just an intention.

We would like to work lightly, persistently and continuously; but it’s not a ‘must’, particularly with the ‘persistently’ and ‘continuously’.

Sometimes we forget to be persistent and continuous, and it’s okay.

Yogi: What you’re saying is that I shouldn’t judge myself or make it a problem if I can’t be continuous or persistent in being aware.

Sayadaw: Yes.
