🌷Que : As I am meditating (during a course), some thoughts come out in clear sequence, and I feel I'm beginning to solve some of the things that are of concern to me...
SNG : Yes. So that becomes a big distraction.
Although it is very helpful because every thought that will come at the deeper level will be a good thought, a wholesome thought, and the decision will be a right decision.
But now you are not here for decision making, you are here to purify the mind.
So even if such thoughts start coming, don't suppress them, but don't take any interest in them.
Pay entire attention to the sensation.
If you start feeling very delighted with this kind of thought, then you forget the sensation, and your process of purification has stopped.
So be with the sensation and let the thoughts come. They won't harm you.
🌷 Is it all right to practise techniques such as hatha-yoga and pranayama?
SNG : The physical aspects of Yoga and pranayama go perfectly all right with Vipassana.
But the meditation part of yoga is dangerous with the practise of Vipassana.
That should not be added to it. Merely the physical part of it all right, nothing wrong.
