When you sit quietly and watch yourself all kinds of things will come to the surface Do nothing about them Don't react to them As they have come, so they will go by themselves All that matters is mindfulness Total awareness of oneself, or rather of one's mind The mind must be open and quiet to see What we are trying to do here is to bring our minds into the right state for understanding what is real Keep quietly alert, inquiring into the real nature of yourself Relax and watch the "I am" Do not try to be quiet
Do not make being quiet into a task to be performed There is nothing to practice To know yourself, be yourself Let your true nature emerge There is nothing to do Just Be Do nothing - Be Just being aware and affectionate intensely Keep very quiet and watch what comes to the surface of the mind Now, go within Into a state in which you are aware of yourself, but not of the world Begin by being the dispassionate observer Shifting the emphasis from the superficial, changeful person to the immutable and ever present Witness Letting thoughts flow and watching
them
