Sati-sampaja¤¤a is not something that you learn through acquiring it, but rather it’s awakening, it’s learning to trust this awakening, paying attention to life. It’s not that you can acquire sati-sampaja¤¤a just through studying about it, or throughn trying to pursue it by will alone, it’s an immanent act of trust in the unknown, because you can’t get hold of it.
