How Wise Effort Takes Us To Seeing Dhamma | 8th Oct 2023
by Ajahn Anan
We must watch over our minds because the sense impressions contact the mind. The mind is the receiver of sense impressions. When sense impressions are received, the mind runs off with the various inputs, because it is still muddled by ignorance that proliferates delusions. The mind does not yet have wisdom. Thus we must put forth effort each and every day, so we can improve. A well-trained mind brings happiness. Venerable Ajahn gives the example of Venerable Luang Pu Chah saying that in the earth, there is water. If we dig long enough, deep enough, surely we will find water. Similarly, with our practice, we must train without stopping. If we put continuous effort into our practice, we will surely see and realize the Dhamma.
