Feb. 17:觉知不需要帮助

If you investigate what is happening in your mind, you may find your awareness has become too relaxed. Then you may want to put a little more weight behind it. I must emphasize that it is important not to overdo this. Don't go searching for objects. Don't force or push too hard. Just bring a little more effort or interest to your practice of observation. Over time the mind becomes used to working with this sharper awareness.

有时你调查心中正在发生什么，你可能会发现觉知有点松懈了。然后你想要给它加一点力道。我必须强调：不要这样过量的去做很重要。不要去寻找所缘。不要过度用神加力。只是在你的观察练习中多用一丁点儿精力或兴趣。时间久了，心会熟悉用这种更锐利的觉知来工作。

个人注解：你企图帮助自己觉知，其实是设置障碍。觉知时应持续检查正见。
