“We should be present to the totality of whatever arises in consciousness, instead of focusing on something that we want to get rid of. Then, we will become aware of the feeling of unhappiness, and the dislike of the feeling, and perhaps a bird singing in the distance and all kinds of things. Let all that evolve by itself. Don’t try to put your hands on it. If you focus on one single thing, you are still trying to manipulate it.”
