Coverings here, the concept of covering is guy Chinese guy. Okay. Fu guy. It covers up. And the problem with covering is that if you have these coverings, goodness cannot arise. You cannot give rise to goodness in your heart. And these the goodness can arise because you have five types of afflictions that cover up your goodness. Okay. What are the five? Greed and desire. Greed and desire meaning you have the five desires. Okay. And the problem with five desire. What are the five desires? anyone remembers? Food, fame, sleep, sex and wealth. You see the problem? You want to open the heavenly eye so that you can see the super lotto. But guess what? You greedy for money. Therefore, you won't be able to open it. See the dilemma? We are full desires. That's why we have coverings of greed and desires. Okay. that's why that's why now you understand why Mash Sha says I wish you open your heavenly eye because it shows that you are quite pure. Okay. Number two, what kind of covering we're talking about? Anger. Ain't it interesting? When you anger, when you have anger, you are covering your goodness. You drown in your own afflictions. And you angry because things don't happen the way you want. That's why you angry. They only want to hear praises only. So far so good. Okay. Third one. Sloth and torper. Okay. Meaning that meaning a sleep sleepy sleepiness. Okay. You feel sleepy. That's a covering. That's why when you meditate and you feel sleepy and you're dozing off, this is when you remember, oop, oops, I'm under covering. Therefore, you fight and fight and fight. Don't say, okay, no one is watching. Oh, everyone is sleeping. Ah, what's the harm? It's no harm except you're covering yourself. Things that you do to yourself and you blame others. You indulge in sleep and that's how you're covering yourself. Okay. Number four, restlessness. You are agitated. Your mind is agitated and you are afflicted and you worried when you go about doing things agitated. How many people you know who's like that? Most people you know are like that right at work. Yeah. Many agitated people and so when you see agitated people you know they covered up it's very difficult to to to reach them. All right. so you want to open your heavenly eye you cannot be agitated. And number five finally doubt. Okay. Doubt is that you keep on going back and forth. Okay, you go back and forth and therefore you cannot have good judgment. You cannot decide. So far so good. Okay, these are the five types of coverings that if you see people who are in in the midst who are like this immersed in these five cuffings, you know that you have to be careful. Okay. it's very hard for these people to do good because they're too afflicted. Okay? And so I would if I were you, I would memorize these five cuffings. Greed and desire, anger, sloth, and torper, restlessness. Number five is the easiest because I see it in all of you. Doubt. If you have these five types of afflictions, it's very hard for you to bring goodness from your heart. To h to a
