English
Okay, thank you. I'm Mohan, and I'm the peace-maker of Mohan.
English
For the last few days, I was wondering if the quality of mind—
English
The quality of mind doesn't know how to appreciate.
English
But what's it?
English
The quality of mind doesn't know how to appreciate. So I can understand as I appreciate.
English
Yeah.
English
So I notice the appreciation is not there. I knew there is Mohan, but you don't know how to— how to see it correctly. So this morning when I woke up, I was like, ah, let me try something. And I tried to introduce right attitude. Even though I thought I had effort, it was not right effort.
English
So I— I noticed carefully that there is an element of
English
very subtle laziness, very subtle kind of, like, disinterest. The moment I noticed it, the whole Mohan disappeared.
English
Interest is coming, yes.
English
Yes. So it was the right effort that is missing. I noticed. Even though I thought it was earlier, it was wisdom that overcome Mohan.
English
So Mohan over— Mohan mind what? Disappear, right?
English
Mm-hmm.
English
So Mohan state is what? What happened?
English
It has a kind of
English
no appreciation.
English
No appreciation. Okay.
English
It doesn't appreciate Dhamma. It doesn't appreciate—
English
Yeah, right, right.
English
Yes.
English
Now you look at the—
English
Quality.
English
Now you know the quality of mind, right?
English
Yes, yes. When I was looking at the nuns this morning, there is appreciation.
English
Yeah.
English
The little monks.
English
Okay.
English
Last few days, I looked at it, no feelings.
English
Yeah, right.
English
But today I saw, oh, the shift happens because of it, right?
