make our our mind mind unburdened unburdened In the the previous sermon I I have have asked us us us to to try to to see whether when we have have made our our mind mind mind unburdened unburdened unburdened can this unburdened unburdened mind mind experience various natural conditions This is is is is is something I have not yet finished explaining For example while the unburdened and light mind in in in in in in in in front of of us is is is is is more expansive than our our physical body—try thinking of of of a a a a a a a a a matter that that discomforts us or or or or think think think of of our our work Observe this: If we we make the the mind that that that is is is unburdened light more expansive than the the matter that that that we we we are thinking about—does that that thought burden burden our mind? Do Do we we we feel feel stifled? Do Do we we feel feel aggravated? This This here is is is is is the the the way to tell whether the the the mind mind that is is is is is unburdened light can experience natural conditions This This is is is is is another important point If practitioners do do not not contemplate do do not not observe in in this way—then there is is is only only a a a a a a a a desire to to to make the the the the mind mind unburdened wanting wanting the the the the the mind mind to to to be serene wanting wanting to to to let go There is is is only only a a a a a a a desire but there there is is is no no know-how Alternatively sometimes when we we practice dhamma we we can make the the the mind unburdened—there is is is concentration serenity quietness unburdeness—nothing disturbs us at at all However when we we we open our eyes we we we cannot take the mind 90
