If we can see consequences, we are not caught in the trap of apparent pain versus apparent pleasure. Discrimination is about making meaningful comparisons such as, "How does my practice compare with that of yesterday?" or "How does the stretch on my left leg compare with that on my right?" You may well find the right leg is asleep. Initially, this is a process of
trial and error. Later we can learn to avoid error. In headstand pose, for example, something that usually goes wrong is that the upper arm shortens. Memory warns us to be careful before that happens. In this way, we break down bad habits. This is a useful discrimination that awakens awareness.
如果我們能夠看清因果、我們就不會陷於表像的苦樂之中。分別智是要作出有意義的對比,比如「我今天的修習與昨日有何不同?」「我左腿的伸展與右腿相比又如何?」你很可能會發現右腿根本在睡覺。起初這是一個嘗試與失誤次第出現的過程。以後我們就要學會避免失誤。比如在頭倒立這個體位法中,通常發生的錯誤是上臂縮短。而記憶會在這種情況發生之前告誡我們小心謹慎。這樣,我們就可以打破壞的習慣。分別智可喚醒我們醒覺的意識。
