My brains never stop

Every mental form can be eliminated through its synthesis. Example: the memory of a fiancée assaults us. Is she beautiful? Let us think that beauty is the opposite of ugliness and that if in her youth she is beautiful, in her old age she will be ugly. The synthesis: it is not worthwhile to think about her; she is an illusion, a flower that will inevitably wither.

In India, this self-observation and study of our psyche is properly called pratyahara.

Bird-like thoughts should pass through the space of our own mind in a successive parade, but without leaving any trace behind.

The infinite procession of thoughts projected by the “I” is exhausted in the end, and then the mind remains still and in silence.

A great Self-realized Master said:

“Only when the projector, in other words, the “I,” is completely absent, will the silence (which is not a product of the mind) then befall. This silence is inexhaustible; it is not of time, and it is immeasurable. It is only then, when THAT which is, arrives.”

This whole technique is summarized in two principles:

1. Profound reflection

2. Tremendous serenity

This technique of meditation with its non-thinking puts to work the most central part of the mind, the one that produces the ecstasy.
