The Will is Not in the Head
... so long as the thing goes on in the head in this way (Mother
turns a finger near her forehead), it has no power. It has a very little
force that is extremely limited. And all the time it belies itself.

One feels that with great difficulty one has gathered up one’s
will, artificial enough, besides, and one tries to catch something,
and the very next minute it has all vanished. And one doesn’t even
realise it; one asks oneself, “How did it happen?”

I don’t know, indeed it seems to me very difficult to do yoga
with the head — unless one is gripped.

The will is not in the head.

The will — what I call the will — is something that’s here (Moth-

power of realisation.

What one does exclusively in the head is subject to countless
fluctuations. ...
