Either way, the skill does NOT require a check to see if the monk knows they're charmed. That's adding a barrier to a skill for no reason, and is not part of the skill in question.

This suggests that the monk is actively doing something; a small chant maybe, or a ki manipulation on himself perhaps. Regardless, if it takes the monk's action, then it is reasonable to assume that if it were reality, many monks wouldn't use the action, whatever it is, unless they are suspicious that they are charmed. Some players really like acting rationally as their character like that.

It does not say you need to be aware of it. Just that it has to be causing the effect. Like I said, the wording is fairly absolute. People can downvote this into oblivion if they like. If the skill worked any other way, it would be a completely useless class feature.

The idea being that a monk that doesn't realize he's been charmed would not have a reason to even use the Stillness of the Mind.
