For this I must be paying attention in what we call the here and now, seeing the lie of those thought/feelings, allowing them to effortlessly fade away. There is no "reward", because I/ME/SELF doesn't "do" the "weeding". My part is simply paying complete attention to each moment, choicelessly aware of what there is, and what is there.
