The discipline of a meditator is to become so watchful of the mind, so alert to the mind and its stupidities &#8212; its hesitations, its tremblings, its vacillations &#8212; to become so watchful that you are cut off. That is the whole purpose of watching: watching cuts you off. Watch anything in the mind, and you are cut off. Watching is a sword. If a thought is moving in your mind, just watch it &#8212; and suddenly you will see the thought is there, you are here, and there is no bridge left. Don&#8217;t watch, and you become identified with the thought, you become it; watch, and you are not it. Mind possesses you because you have forgotten how to watch.
