Practicing Cittanupassana
‘An ounce of practice is worth more than a ton of theory.’
‘There should always be the greatest effort possible without forcing, without creating tension.’
‘Insight comes from the realisation that observation is going on without the observer. Witnessing is going on without the witness.’
Put your mind at the solar plexus. Don’t label. Just be aware of what is happening. If you hear something, just know there is hearing. If you know what sound it is you are hearing, this is not meditation.
It’s only meditation when there are two minds:
Knowing-noting mind and observing mind.
If there is only one mind, ‘I’ is always there.
The object is not the dhamma,
The dhamma is the mind
That is being aware.
You don’t need to follow the objects or identify or know them. Awareness will do it’s own work.
Even when the person sleeps the Dhamma does not sleep, even when you are near death and you are overcome by exhaustion, the feeling of being overcome is just the feeling of being overcome, knowing it, is separate from the sensation.
