Yogi: When awareness is natural, I just need to check if awareness is there; but other times I need some effort to maintain the awareness.
Sayadaw: If awareness is weak, you need to use personal effort to keep the awareness going. If natural effort is present, you don’t need to use personal effort.
But if awareness is lost, you just keep trying to allow awareness to be present. Just try and try again.
