017 The Yogic Way—Relinquishing

To recognise the reality of emptiness, one has to find the thing to be relinquished. It cannot be found in any text, philosophy or teaching. It is the grip itself, the part of you that holds the mind and holds the body. Do not look for an ego, a self, an essence, a false consciousness. Do not look at all. Feel for the part of you that grips. You cannot relinquish the grip until you firmly apprehend it. When you properly know the part of you that grips, you properly know the precise thing standing between you and the ultimate freedom.
