My yoga teacher have reminded a few times during my six years of training under her。But. each time she asked us, we could not get the right answer. It is so easy and it is just awareness and yet we cannot remember and answer her precisely
Recently , I read a book on meditation and it comprises of four steps and 16 parts ie four parts in one step. And the last part is the easiest of all the parts and it is just awareness. The permanent sense of awareness and rejections.
One of the awareness is impermanence. Our life is not forever static. We will keep growing old for whatever we do and we will finally die. So, all the process in our life is going constant changes and we have accept the changes.
Next is the awareness of non self. Everything that happens our life will go away and there is nothing to attach to it. The image in the mirror is only a reflection and not a thing for us to attach. Our origin is nothing and how can we be attached to the dust and sufferings in life. There is no self and it is nothingness.
Just be aware of the happening and do not re-act to it and just let it go. Another word for self is ego.
The final awareness is enough is enough. Our mind is. constantly tormented by thoughts , desire and attachments. We have be aware of our mind's weakness and we should tell our mind enough is enough on each matter and boot it our of our mind each time the thought appears until the thoughts go away forever.
It is not easy to attain such awareness and each person's ability for such realization is also different。
For some people it comes naturally and for many they can never achieve this sense of awareness. Just watch your awareness and feel it grow in you and become a permanent part of you.
Namaste
