We keep advising people who are addicted to tobacco smoking-even ordinary tobacco smoking-that if an urge arises in the mind, not to take the cigarette and start smoking. Wait a little. Just accept the fact that an urge to smoke has arisen in the mind. When this urge arises, along with it there is a sensation in the body. Start observing that sensation, whatever the sensation may be. Do not look for a particular sensation. Any sensation at that time in the body is related

First is breath, ninth is again breath; that’s why no spiritual science can neglect breathing.

If you are trying to push it, you are simply foolish. The river flows by itself – allow it to flow.”
