Transcript
English
Sayadaw, I've got a question.
English
Yes?
English
You know, normally when we go to, you know, we look to the computer, right?
English
Uh-huh.
English
I noticed the habit that, oh, I will look to the Facebook of this, and I will look to this one, and then the mind gets.
English
Involved.
English
Involved, and then for a while, and then, oh, we forget what the planning is.
English
And lost.
English
Yeah, and then we.
English
And then later you suddenly you remember.
English
Yeah.
English
And then.
English
And then go back to the plan in the beginning.
English
So.
English
So, I mean, the notice that, you know.
English
Oh.
English
The notice that we forgot.
English
Now you notice about lost.
English
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
English
That's also why you need to be noticed.
English
Noticed.
English
Yeah. If you lost, you need to notice earlier or later. Better to be earlier you notice, better.
English
How about you, when you unfold you what, the video, when you get into that, how would you notice?
English
Sometimes. Sometimes not. Yeah.
English
So how do you know that you lost?
English
Yeah. If you aware compare, then you, I know you just lost already.
English
When you lost time, you don't know.
English
Yeah, exactly.
English
When awareness come back, then you know that awareness come back and before it's lost.
English
Yeah. I think that the mind had the idea in the beginning that, oh, we need to do this one, but then they get distracted into something else, and then suddenly, not suddenly, but like, when you feel lost for a while.
