' The Impersonal Functioning of Understanding '...

All effort at controlling thoughts, appetites and desires
cannot but strengthen them along with the ego.

Whatever has to go must fall off by itself.

All that you are
concerned with, all that you are, is the impersonal
functioning of understanding.

So let that understanding
work through witnessing without judgment, knowing that
there is nothing else that you can do.
