Dear Alex,
yoniso manasikaara.
PED, p. 560. manasikaara: making of the mind, attention.
Yoni: womb, origin, matrix. Yoniso: ablative: down to its origin or
foundation, thoroughly, properly, wisely.
Yoniso manasikaara: wise attention to an object that is experienced.
Objects are experienced through the senses and the mind-door, and
usually there is unwise attention, ayoniso manasikaara, with lobha,
dosa, moha, wrong view or conceit. This is explained in many suttas.
We have to get the message of the Sutta and be reminded of this truth.
After seeing, even when we do not know yet what was seen, when there
is not yet thinking about the object, there is already clinging. Or
we take seeing for 'my seeing', not understanding that it is seeing
which sees. But when we listen to the Dhamma and develop
understanding there can be more often yoniso manasikaara instead of
ayoniso manasikaara.
Nina.
