At all times, be aware of what enters and what leaves you, analyze your thoughts and desires and the feelings which flood into you, and also be aware of those elements that leave you and that you lose. This is a science in itself. In your inner laboratory, you study the effects on yourself of the reality of things, you note whether you are progressing or, on the contrary, slipping backwards. If you do not have this awareness how can you possibly know what is happening? I sometimes ask people, ‘What are you thinking about?’ and they reply, ‘I don’t know’. This astounds me. Things are coming and going like they do in a mill and they are not even aware of it. How can you expect such people to be in control of the situation? They will always be weak and victimized. Whatever currents flow through you, you should always recognize their nature, and know what regions they come from, so that you can sort them appropriately. This is how you will be able to progress.
