English
Please check your attitude.
English
Once we've had a good experience,
English
we tend to
English
want that again.
English
To want it back.
English
And if you recognize such a desire or wish, you only need to acknowledge it. Observe it.
English
No matter which of the senses you're aware of, it's only just awareness
English
and what it knows. The knowing and the known.
MY
[Burmese speech]
English
One of the mind's natural functions is to know its object.
English
So there is no need to use a lot of energy to
English
know,
English

English
The truth, the equality, the tip, the tip.
[Burmese segment]
English
The disuniverse is quality.
English
Can you detect the quality of your awareness?
English
Do you know when the awareness is better? Do you know when the awareness is weak?
English
If you are able to, then notice the quality of the awareness.
English

English

English
Sri Yadava, Chandana, Uchi, Chaitanya, Sri Yadavachi, Tantat, Tinnitus, Tinnitus, Mucha Vipassana. The mind's nature is to be attracted to pleasant sensations,
English
resistant to unpleasant ones.
English
So if you know that there is awareness, then it tends to be neutral.
