Do not indulge in thought
“Do not indulge in thought, but watch the natural awareness.” “Natural” awareness has no shape or colour, and it has no location. So how can we focus on it? What does it mean “to watch” it?
First of all, our task is to focus our attention on the mind, as opposed to the physical sense fields. One way to do this is to focus our awareness initially on a mental event, such as a thought. This thought could be anything – a word or a phrase – but it is helpful if it is one that does not stimulate either desire or aversion.
