You are your own teacher, your own pupil

If you are with the body, you don't become, you are. Slowly the body adjusts and it comes to you. You centre yourself, you follow your breath. Following is an act of attention or of interest. If you are interested in the breathing, in the body, you discover many things. There is no teacher, no pupil, you are your own teacher, your own pupil.
