"In meditation practice, aren't the four postures (iriyāpatha) taught? Walking, standing, sitting, and lying down - aren't these taught? Now, when people work, is sitting the only posture?
Think about it - we want to criticize someone who's standing, we want to fault someone who's lying down, we want to blame someone who's walking. Isn't this worth considering?
So, those who cannot sit must listen to Dhamma while walking, while standing, while lying down. The essential point is what the Mogok Sayadaw taught: 'The ear listens to Dhamma while wisdom observes the khandhas (aggregates).' Think about this.
The ear should turn toward the Dhamma, isn't that what's taught? And wisdom should observe the khandhas, isn't that what's taught? This aligns perfectly with the four postures, doesn't it?
While sitting, one should know the Dhamma. You need to be aware of the khandhas while sitting, you need to be aware of the khandhas while standing, you need to be aware of the khandhas while walking, you need to be aware of the khandhas while lying down, do you understand? Isn't this worth studying?"
