Yogi: Yesterday, I was angry at something. I chose to ignore it and got into a state of confusion, doubt, being overwhelmed and aversion.

So, this morning I decided to stick to a neutral object for a while. When I remembered the anger from yesterday and sat with it, the mind grasped onto something else of the past, and the mind made such a huge deal of the whole thing.

Sayadaw: When we observe the unwholesome minds – when we acknowledge and recognize them – it is very important to have the right view of not identifying with them.

You see the unwholesome quality comes up and you do not think: This is me. If you notice that the mind thinks ‘This is me’, you recognize that the mind thinks ‘This is me’ – when you recognize the selfing, you’ll be less involved.
