Know Your Impediments
Knowing your own particular impediments to your own
awakening means that you can better awaken. If a person does not know his or
her own impediments, it means that they are trying to awaken.
When you try to awaken, you inadvertedly come across obstacles
and difficulties.
These obstacles and difficulties are mostly shared by others
but there are others which are specific and depend on the individual due to psychological
and physical/environmental reasons.
What Are Your impediments?
Are they excess thinking? A strong attachment to thinking?
Too many other things to do? Other priorities to take care of? Tired?
Discover, Decide, Work to Discard, Move On
In order to help ourselves most effectively, if we discover
an impediment we will naturally be faced with the decision of doing nothing or
doing something. If we decide to do something, the next step is to work to
discard it and once it has been discarded we can work to move past it.
End (1341).
