Yogi: Today’s sit was like a shift after an hour. Everything changed when my perception changed – the awareness and object were still there.

The pain changed – it retreated to the background, and I could sit another hour. I never could do that before and I was happy.

When I opened my eyes, the thought came that everything I saw was falling apart – only processes going on. I felt happy.

Sayadaw: We just have to gather all these little bits of wisdom – we have to always allow them to arise by being mindful.
