Your goal is not to battle with the mind,
but to witness the mind.
Know that you are the witness, the Self,
and let the mind go wherever it likes.
-Swami Dayananda
One must give oneself body and soul,
while keeping for oneself the essential:
the observing eye.
-Georges Soules "Raymond Abellio"
One observes again and again
The state of one's body or mind;
Every such observation means
Watching with utmost vigilance.
-Bodhicharyavatara
Until the peg of clinging to an object is removed
Dualistic thought will continue creating new karma.
Watch yourself with undistracted mindfulness!
-Je Gampopa
I am a vigilant observer
maintaining neutral witness
to effectively reprogram habitual response.
I am strong in Spirit.
-Melanie Gendron
Watch, keep watching, but do not watch anything.
Meditate! Keep meditating! But do not meditate on anything!
-Savari
When you keep the 'I am' feeling in the focus of awareness
and watch yourself ceaselessly -
when there is continuous witnessing of all movements in consciousness -
the conscious and the unconscious will for a time play the game of hide-and-seek
until finally the two become one and the one becomes the totality.
The person then merges in the witness,
the witness in awareness in pure Being.
-Ramesh Balsekar
