Objectivity & Observer mind

     “You can be aware of bodily sensations, mental feelings, and mental activities. But do not think of them as ‘mine’; they are just what they are: sensations are sensations, feelings are feelings, mental activities are mental activities – that is their fundamental nature. Always try to observe them with this view in mind; if you don’t, ie if you experience them as ‘mine’, attachment or aversion will inevitably arise.”
