In this videoconference talk from 5 October 2018, Ajahn Anan discusses the proper way of practice - how to relate to the desire for enlightenment, how to let go with wisdom, and more.

An excerpt: "It is important to be able to enter the stream of the Dhamma of the Buddha, and for us to become an ariya puggala, a Noble being, in the Buddha-sasana. But when we practice Dhamma, we have desire (craving) arise. This desire becomes an obstacle.... Because the desire that arises is like a rock that lies on top of our heart and makes it heavier. And it makes Dhamma practice progress slowly. The real practice must purify the mind, or it takes away the heaviness."
