QUESTION ONLY TO PROMPT INTEREST IN OBSERVING

See this content in the original post

Yogi: I was a lawyer and police woman – whenever I hear the word ‘Investigation’, the mind gets stressed.

Sayadaw: This word is not suitable for you. We use a WH question not to think, or encourage thinking. If you think, you’re simply recalling old information which is intellectual knowledge.

We think of this question only once, and then we watch 99 times. But, yogis think that to investigate is to think a lot.

I explained about applying wisdom because a lot of yogis just focus and push in their practice; they forget to think. If you already have interest, there is no need to ask more questions.
