‘The mind must be left to itself, utterly free to move about according to its own nature. Not to localize it is the end of spiritual training. When the ultimate perfection is attained, the body and limbs perform by themselves what is assigned to them to do with no interference from the mind.’

I’m sure many athletes have had this feeling. How do you experience it?

    This sounds like the flow state where there is just spontaneous action. Similar also to the phenomenon where writers feel like they are not thinking about the words but simply taking dictation.
