“Meditation means contemplating in a way that solves problems at the same time. Look at yourself a lot. Keep track of the mind, your sensitivity, your thought-fabrications. Actually, all your thoughts are an affair of fabrication. To put it in simple terms, don’t run along with them. Don’t follow in line with them. They’re just an affair of mental fabrication. Fabrications fabricate things, now wanting this, now wanting that. Try to fix your attention on keeping track of their stages as they’re happening. Whatever they’re about, they’re all not for sure, each and every one. When you see this clearly, that will end your doubts.
Whatever thoughts arise, know that they’re not for sure. Don’t go attaching meaning to them, and they’ll end on their own. When they don’t end, make them end, and that’s the end of the matter. They’re just an affair of fabrication. If we don’t understand, we’ll think that they’re an affair of discernment. Actually, our thoughts and ideas are all an affair of fabrication. They’re not genuine knowing. But we think that they’re knowledge. They’re knowledge that doesn’t let go. If knowledge is genuine, it lets go.”
