It is very important to understand the unconscious, not merely to scratch on the surface of the mind and think you have understood yourself. To understand the unconscious as well as the conscious mind, there must be a sense of watchfulness which is spontaneous and not enforced. If you watch a child with condemnation, with criticism, with a sense of comparison, what happens? The child feels it and becomes paralyzed, he freezes in his action. You must have noticed it. Whereas if you begin to play with the child and let him do what he likes, then even though you are there, he feels free to carry on in his own way, and then you can study him

Similarly, if the mind watches itself with condemnation, with justification, with a sense of comparison and so on, then the thinking process freezes and your thoughts become still, but that is not stillness- the mind is simply afraid to move. On the other hand, if you watch with the ease of spontaneity, with the ease of familiarity, without any sense of comparing or justifying, then you will see that the totality of your mind begins to uncover itself. You do not have to uncover it, nor does the conscious mind have to uncover the unconscious. The mind will uncover itself, just as the child begins to play in your presence because he has confidence in you. So the unconscious as well as the conscious mind begins to uncover itself if you approach it without any sense of direction, opposition,cor identification, and in that state of awareness, you will find that the mind is learning the content of itself.
