Sri Aurobindo's Conversations with Pavitra. Part 2 - To Kill All Thoughts

Sri Aurobindo:
You must succeed in separating yourself from Prakriti and knowing yourself as the Purusha. The method I was taught was to kill all thoughts when they appeared before me, quite simply by looking at them steadily.

Pavitra:
Remaining attentive facing my thoughts — I found that they disappeared immediately on my looking steadily at them. The means of killing them, hence, is to watch attentively and, as soon as one becomes conscious of any, destroy it thus.
