Ajahn Chah - It is not the pain that disturbs you but it is you who disturb the pain


Similarly, when your meditation is interrupted by a pain in your legs, say, then it is not the pain that disturbs you but it is you who disturb the pain. If you had been mindful, you would have seen your awareness go out to your body, becoming interested in sensations again. That was kāma-cchanda (sense-desire) at work.
-Ajahn Chah
