' Witnessing is essential '...

Discover all you are not.

Body, feelings, thoughts,
ideas, time, space, being and not-being, this or that
- nothing concrete or abstract you can point out to is
you.

A mere verbal statement will not do - you may
repeat a formula endlessly without any result
whatsoever.

You must watch yourself continuously
- particularly your mind - moment by moment, missing
nothing.

This witnessing is essential for the separation
of the self from the not-self.
