Awakening
Sri Bhagavan:: Once the needs of the self are satisfied to an extent, you are awakened and you can witness the Mind. Till then you think it is your mind. Actually, the Mind is ancient. It is not your mind or her mind. Suppose you have a disease like TB, you do not say it is your TB or his TB or her TB. IT is just TB or Cancer. Not your cancer, her cancer, etc.
Witnessing this Mind is Awakening. Seeing happens automatically. The Mind slows - pauses and there is just seeing what is there, whatever it may be - jealousy, hatred, lust, anything. Seeing happens without tampering, manipulating commenting, judging. This is first stage.
