Yogi: How to be in a group discussion and still maintain the awareness?

Sayadaw: Whenever you know any activity of the mind, awareness is already happening. For example, because I know the mind, automatically I know the seeing and looking process.

So, if you know the mind, you’ll notice seeing and looking whenever the mind is looking. If you know the mind, you can notice the 6 senses working.

Yogi: If I notice that awareness is lost, does that mean that I know the mind activity?

Sayadaw: Yes, you can say like this.
