💐 The second soldier of Māra is unwillingness to reside or be happy in a quiet place such as a forest dwelling.
Yesterday somebody planned to run away. He got up early and packed his belongings. He planned to sit at half past seven with you all, and then leave while I was checking the students at eight. He was planning to run like mad, catch a bus, and get home. He thought he would collect his bags at some later date. Luckily, I don't know why, I gave the one hour adhitthāna (strong determination) sitting earlier, and he had to sit that one hour. There he was—trapped! After the adhitthāna sitting,Māra left him, and he didn't want to leave anymore.
When unwillingness to reside in a quiet place arises, the person wants to leave and run away.
He may inform us that he wishes to leave or he may just quietly leave.
🌷 The second soldier does not want to stay in a quiet secluded place because of the turmoil inside.
