Don't Chase, She Is Yours (What Is It that Slips Away?) || AP Neem Candies
Acharya Prashant: Observing the daily ordinary actions of the mind, that is the only way. Observing it as an impartial observer. There is no other method that is going to work because all other methods are ‘isolations.’ The method does something to life. The method excludes life; the method works only upon a part and time of life . The method does not encompass ‘total life.’ The method says, “block two hours of life for the method, or create a particular situation in life in which the method can be applied. The only method that is all-encompassing is ‘life itself.’
Observe life ‘totally’ as it is happening. Do not do anything to life because if you do something to life then you have changed life . Observation alone does not change life, does not interfere with life . All other methods interfere with that which you are going to observe and hence, will change that you are going to observe and hence your observation will be?
Questioner: Changed.
Acharya Prashant: Are you getting it? If you want, for example, to observe your Heart and you tear open the body to reach the Heart in the process you kill the body. What will you observe? You will observe, but what will you observe? You would have changed the very thing that you wanted to observe, that is the problem with methods.
Every method is an interference.
