The Four Mindfulness

Day Three

Mindfulness of the Feelings

There are methods to begin from the feeling of pleasure, then the feeling of pain, and then the neutral feeling, but that may not be practical for all meditators. The best way is to just observe whichever feeling comes during the meditation, without any sequence or without any choice. If there are spontaneous feelings of pain and pleasure, observe both of them equally; likewise, observe all three equally. Look at the feeling, at its face, and then concentrate; the analytical mind goes, it goes not to react, rather the analytical mind goes to the depth of the feeling, observing how the feeling came into being, exists for a certain period of time, and then it disintegrates by its own, or changes to other form—all of this sequence shall have to observed. Observe very keenly and be aware; seeing it without doing anything, without any reacting. In other words, we may say, just to feel it. The recognition of feeling means you just feel it, and a small part of your mind looks at the nature of the feeling; when you feel it, observing how it feels.

You observe all the three different kinds of feelings continuously, over and over again. Of course, scattering and sinking must be removed. After analytical meditation do concentrative or attentive meditation for a little while. In this way the second stage of mindfulness—that is, mindfulness of feelings—can be achieved.

Day Three

Mindfulness of the Feelings

When we are evolving or inculcating the sensitivity or awareness of our mind, as much our awareness goes up, that much we will see the depth, which is not just an appearance, rather how things exist behind the appearance. Mindfulness is in other words, to train the mind to become extremely sensitive. Sensitivity is the real quality of the mind. A good quality of the mind can function with utmost sensitivity, and with that sensitivity the mind can touch the reality, not remain with the appearance, thereby the conditionings decrease, all kinds of conditionings decrease.
