“You just relax behind it and let it be what it is. What will happen? One, all of your energy, all of your will, all of your being will no longer get pulled into the process of what the mind is talking about.
You have to lift the finger. It is the essence of your nature of self. So when you stop letting all of your energy, attention and will get pulled into what the mind is saying, where will your energy, consciousness and will end up?
They will end up staying seated where they came from. What we call, the Buddhists call it their source. All things that seem so mystical before become obvious.
That is the source of your consciousness. That is the source of your will. When your mind says something, you need to get involved in it and then apply your will to try and make it happen.
That's your will. The mind has no will of its own. It's your will that's getting involved in the mind.”
