The Axe Of Mindfulness
Mahasi Sayadaw
Conceit arises when things appear to be permanent.
Mahasi Sayadaw
If one is going to die right now,
Mahasi Sayadaw
then conceit falls away.
Mahasi Sayadaw
When one sees correctly that nothing is permanent
Mahasi Sayadaw
and that everything continuously passes away,
Mahasi Sayadaw
then there is no cause for conceit to arise.
Mahasi Sayadaw
Every moment of mindfulness means the gradual destruction of latent defilements.
Mahasi Sayadaw
It is somewhat like cutting away a piece of wood with a small axe,
Mahasi Sayadaw
every stroke helping to get rid of the unwanted fragments of wood.
