    Thankyou Lal.
    This seems like a very simple obvious point. But I find this extremely important. On a previous visit to certain forest monasteries, they made it seem like the slightest involuntary action was a fault and to be corrected immediately.
    I think there’s a handful of people, who have mixed up this kind of mindfulness believing it to be samma satti.

    Hello.
    Certain Bhavas we are born into,
    Are Kammaicaly neutral,
    Can we put the act of blinking itself into Avyākata PS?
    If so certain people have certain gatis, which other people don’t.
    For example, I shake my leg sometimes,
    This itself is Jati,
    I believe it is also included in Avyākata PS? Am i wrong?
    The reason I ask is I’ve seen a certain Venerable monk who claims and i also believe is an Arahant shake their leg at times.
    This act itself looks harmless, and when i have mindfulness of it, im like should i really catch it and stop it?
    Is that forcing and unnecessary effort?
    I realize it has to be from a peleema, otherwise that would never happen.
    But i also think its a neutral action.

    Thank you for your kind comment.
    This makes the path much clearer to me.
    Now I see it as, every bit of Mano Dukkha experienced, is an opportunity to Vidarshana.
    Because I was under the impression we can get Mano Dukkha, from a Karma Vipaka. Eg- people with depression.
    Am I right in assuming that in these states of mind, it is actually Paticca Samuppada happening at a very fast rate? Would you recommended, people with controlled depression to try out this particular method? I have such a friend, and I’m wondering if she might benefit.

    I got to know of this deeper level of the Paticca Samuppada recently, and it has really made it a lot easier to contemplate.
    I did not know there are “Uddesa” and “niddesa” levels of explanations in other teachings too.
    Will definitely check it out.

    Theruwansaranai!
