"The only way out is to simply observe. This allows us to take note of our physical reactions, or mental attitudes and patterns in her motivations at the exact moment they appear on it involves no evaluation, no analysis which is based on memory."

"It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This changes completely spontaneous. Make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, for one thing, to another. Remain in the vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering a pleasure, each leading inevitably inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biological, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, the selector, no personality making choices. Choices living the situation is given the freedom to unfold."

"You must turn to this personal background as often as the opportunity beckons. Take note that your attention is constantly turned either towards objects or to ideas. A sense of being without qualification is completely unknown to. Become the spectator, become aware of the natural flow of your life, your motives, actions and what results from them."

"At first the new body sensation will be fragile and you may be solicited by the old patterns. But the body has organic memory, a memory of its natural state of these, which, once reawakened and sustained, will sooner or later become permanent. The old sensations will become foreign to you. You may even find it difficult to recall them. Then you realize that the body appears in you, and awareness, and that you were not lost in the body."

"If we give attention to the palm of the hand without representing it or making any sort of effort, if we give the tactile sensation the possibility of spring to life of its own accord, that it will spread throughout our whole body"
Page 16
"Let us consider some of asanas, or physical postures. First of all, we carry out the movement exclusively within the subtle body. We must be aware, alert, so that the physical body remains completely vacant, for in the beginning whenever we move the body structure, memory, habit intervenes causing a reaction on the neuromuscular plane."
Page 16
"You must distinguish between passive letting go and active letting go. Active letting go to remain totally present, clear-sighted, uninvolved and actively alert."
