Ants Nest When we sit in meditation we want the mind to become peaceful, but it doesnt. We dont want to think, but we think. Its like a person who is sitting on an ants nest. The ants just keep on biting him. Why? Because when the mind is in the world, then even though a person is sitting still with his eyes closed, all he sees is the world. Pleasure, sorrow, anxiety, confusion, they all arise, because he still hasnt realized Dhamma. If the mind is like this, the meditator cant endure the worldly dhammas, he cant investigate. Its just the same as if he were sitting on an ants nest. The ants are going to bite because hes right on their home. So what should he do? He should look for a way to get rid of them. Ajahn chah
