Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 7 (1:07:57-1:09:45)

Yogi: How do I deal with confusion because I cannot realize confusion when I’m confused or when I’m not knowing? It is really tricky.

Confusion means that you’re unclear about what you think you should be knowing. Confusion is being unclear; it’s not that you don’t know.
