Yogi: The mind goes back so often to my childhood and adolescence, especially on retreat, for hours and hours. I recall memories and make them up again and again, all the people, relatives and things.

This goes on and on and on – it’s like the mind is chewing on it, especially before sleeping, like a lullaby. I can’t make out what is behind it, why my mind is so interested in these old stories.

Sayadaw: You will find it. It is not for nothing – there is something the mind is attached to; that is why it comes back over and over again.

As you observe, you’ll see.
