How do I deal with strong aversion? </b>Aversion isnât easily seen. If you are aware, if you have <a href="https://tricycle.org/magazine/sati-meaning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>sati </i></a>(Pali; awareness/mind emptiness), you know something is wrong when you feel a very slight contraction of the heart. If the heart isnât completely open, something is wrong. The center of the <i>citta</i> (Pali; heart/mind) is located close to the physical heart, so if your attention isnât on the citta at the time something happens, have a look at your physical heart because people feel most comfortable when their hearts are completely open. In the morning, you can sometimes observe your heart hardening up, and that means something is wrong. Thereâs something you donât want to see. When the heart closes, it tunes out everything around it, and thatâs not the way to be. So the state of the physical heart can be a good barometer of our innermost feelings. If it contracts and pumps faster, you know something is wrong; if itâs quiet everything is fine. Through the action of the heart and lungs, the citta manipulates the body. So if you donât yet have the ability to stay within the citta and know your real intentions, you can observe the state of the physical heart.</p> 482<p class="p2">The problem we have with boredom or restlessness is our aversion to them, and that manifests in the physical heart. But when you see aversion, tell yourself that you now have a wonderful object to investigate. You have to get used to all the irritations and painful feelings that arise in meditation. The <i>kilesas</i> (Pali; defilements) come with all sorts of tricks: tiredness, worry, pain, and so on. Restlessness is a very difficult hindrance to deal with because it has no focus, whereas pain is a definite object. There are lots of difficulties to overcome at the beginning, but you have to face them and deal with them in a skillful way. But rememberâmeditation isnât about pushing things away; itâs about accepting rather than turning away. I usually talk about dealing with pain, but the process is the same for all kinds of feelings. The first step is to accept the feelingâaversion or anything elseâwholeheartedly, ask what it feels like and get to know it. Once you can do that successfully, you can calmly investigate what it is.</p> 483<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="pull-quote">When you see aversion, tell yourself that you now have a wonderful object to investigate.</span></p> 484<p class="p2">I used to tell my heart to open up, and that was painful. In German thereâs a saying that we want to see the truth but we donât want to know it, and thatâs because itâs painful. When the heart closes, it doesnât want to know about the things it fears or doesnât want to see or remember. However, when it opens up, it starts to feel them, and it feels them as pain. If you can be patient and become calm, youâll be aware of just the reality of experience. In that state, if you ask the right question, you might get an answer. But the answer doesnât come in the form of thoughts but rather as a knowingness. And, by the way, the answer from the knowingness doesnât come as an âahaâ moment. The moment you think âaha,â the knowingness is gone. If you think you know something, thatâs only a thought, and thoughts and views can change over time. But in the knowingness, you just know, and it never goes away.</p> 485<p class="p2">Now, we as ordinary human beings canât distinguish between knowingness and thought. Knowingness is like a small bird twittering while thought is like an express train, and as long as thoughts are there weâll never be able to experience the knowingness. The Western mind is trained to look for solutions, but in the spiritual life the solution is to become calm and stop the thoughts in <a href="https://tricycle.org/magazine/samadhi-meaning/"><i>samadhi</i></a> (Pali; meditative absorption), for then we wonât have a problem. Most of our so-called problems come from thoughts and memories, and when they stop happiness arises. The longer we stay in samadhi, the longer we have a connection to the knowingness, to the truth. But we canât solve our spiritual problems with thought.</p> 486<p class="p4" style="text-align: center;">â¦</p> 487<p><a href="https://forestdhammatalks.org/books"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-85141" src="https://tricycle.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/book-cover.jpg" alt="" width="314" height="443" /></a></p> 488<p class="p2"><i>Excerpted from </i><a href="https://forestdhammatalks.org/books" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Signs Along the Path</span></a><i> by Ajahn Martin Piyadhammo.
