I do not understand anything I see.
The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand about them.
I do not understand this cup of coffee. I find it remarkably difficult to suspend my judgment and to do this simple exercise without thinking about what I understand about the objects around me. The mind really wants to argue the point. And, of course, that is the point. How can I discover the truth when I think I already know it? Dear God, I pray for the humility of an open mind.
