Q: How can the mind remain balanced when we are in pain?
A: Whenever something happens in the external world that we do not like, there are unpleasant sensations in the body.
A Vipassana meditator focuses the entire attention on these sensations without reacting, just observing them very objectively.
It is very difficult in the beginning, but slowly it becomes easier to observe the gross unpleasant sensations - what we call pain - with a balanced, calm mind.
๐ท Pleasant, unpleasant, makes no difference.
Every sensation arises only to pass away.
Why react to something that is so ephemeral.
