Another way, is to be able to watch constantly, if the mind is forgetful or collected, and this instruction comes directly from the Buddha himself, about the contemplation of the consciousness.

In sitting when sati gets stronger you’ll see that the mind doesn’t go anywhere, objects come to its field of awareness. But the mind moves very fast within its field of awareness.

Bored?
Look at that boredom, until you can see what is behind that. Most likely it is unhappiness. Look at this unhappiness until you can see what is behind that. You will find kilesa there.

Once you can see kilesa and come face to face with it and acknowledge it, a change of attitude, will take place in the mind which will eliminate that kilesa. Without you having to do anything at all.

This process of contemplating like this, can take place as you keep walking or sitting down. If walking, you stop watching the step and turn your attention fully to the mind. Kilesa will disappear and won’t bother you again for three days!

You will find there are two things there: sati and kilesa, both trying to take over the mind. So don’t be surprised that in the process of contemplation, it might take you up to thirty minutes sometimes before sati predominates and the mind is cleared.

Be aware: aware in every context-contact in time and whatever the experience might be without resisting anything.

This is the only spiritual exercise worth practicing.
