Yesterday was an uposatha observance day and, perhaps due to the fact that I have not observed in a few weeks or due to not eating enough before noon, I have been feeling low all day. Even though I slept on the floor I slept later than usual and missed my morning sit. That, coupled with the expected “trouble at work” have dragged me into a sorry state.
So, in suc a state of aversion and despair it does not seem right to simply avert to the passing mind-body states but what to do? When death can strike at any moment how can I feel complacent to allow my mind to be occupied and colonized by sloth, torpor and aversion?
