Can You Hear the Wonderful Sound?

During meditation, we may hear the sound of a raindrop falling from a leaf into the pond and find it incredibly clear and beautiful. However, when we wash the dishes, we cannot hear the sound of water in the same way. This is because our minds are full of thinking—we are caught in an opposite mind, a resisting mind, and a checking mind. If we just try to breathe in and breathe out, and let go of our checking mind, our minds will calm down. Then, we will find that the water flowing from the tap is also truly wonderful.
