"Self-observation is related with some precise
practices.
If we begin to observe only how things happen, we'll not perceive too much; but if we try
to struggle against some of these things we see, for instance, against small habits, we'll
immediately begin to see many things we usually do not perceive. Everybody has small
habits: a certain speed of walking, a way of moving hands,
of seating down, standing up, talking in a special manner. This struggle is not to obtain
special results, but only for self-observation. May be, later, you can find out you have
to free yourself from some habits,
but for the moment, this struggle must aim uniquely to the study of oneself." [1]
