WHEN YOU DON’T FOCUS, THE VIEW BECOMES WIDER

See this content in the original post

When you don’t focus, the view becomes wider. Yes, that’s wisdom’s view – when you see the overview, then you can see more things, the relationship between processes, and cause and effect.

When the mind focuses onto an object, the view is narrow and the picture is not complete. When that happens, wisdom cannot decide because it doesn’t know what is happening.

When you focus onto the object, you won’t know your thoughts and the mind state. But if you relax, you can see both the object and the thinking mind. You can then see both nama and rupa at the same time. Then we can understand the relationship between mind and body or mind and object.
