Chapter 23Suggestions for Dealing with Experiences · Letting the Experiences Develop Naturally
Book 1. Part One: The Place of Experiences in the Practice of Yoga · Section One: The Nature and Value of Experiences
It is better to let the experiences develop naturally. It is not necessary, when they come freely, to determine with the mind which is to be remembered or sought after.
* An experience should be allowed its full time to develop or have its full effect. It should not be interrupted except in case of necessity or, of course, if it is not a good experience.
* You have to watch and see how they [experiences] develop. For the most part they carry their own meaning and if you go on observing them with a silent and vigilant mind you will understand more than if you were in a constant turmoil of thought about them.
* When an experience begins, you should not interfere with it by either questioning or by disturbing movements.
