Shwe Oo Min Dhammasukha Tawya 2019 Vassa Q&A (20190814)
Whenever we simply believe what the mind says, it becomes problematic. So, don’t believe what the mind says; just maintain the awareness continuously, and naturally the awareness energy builds up day by day.
If you believe whenever the mind says ‘No good’ or anything negative, the awareness energy goes down.
Try to think that a thought is just a thought. Don’t believe your thoughts. People believe too much what the mind says. That’s a problem because the initial thought is delusion and believing it is a greater delusion.
So, don’t believe, and simply try as much as you can; if you continue to practice day by day, the awareness will certainly build up.
