193: Unwholesome Mental Factors (Part 3) Sloth/Torpor & Doubt
Update: 2025-07-24
Description
In this episode, we continue exploring the mental factors (cetasikas) with a focus on the final group of unwholesome mental factors — sloth (thīna), torpor (middha), and doubt (vicikicchā). These states weaken the mind, hinder meditation, and obstruct the development of wisdom.
Sayadaw explains how sloth dulls the mind, torpor slows down the mental factors, and spiritual doubt wavers between belief and disbelief in the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. Through clear examples and reflections, we learn how these factors arise through unwise attention and how diligent effort and mindfulness can overcome them.
