Just to reinforce what you have understood, Madame de Salzmann remarked: "True individuality consists in voluntarily placing oneself under a law."
The question about 'waiting' is subtle. It is difficult but necessary to wait without expectation, without hope of anything specific--except the hope associated with a law, hope of consciousness. Real waiting amounts to being a good servant. Quite rightly we use the word 'attendant' for such. The real centre of gravity is attention.
Right action is not done by me; it is done in me or through me. But I must do my part. Everything is done by and from the other side; my part is to pay attention and to pay with attention.
Two more remarks of Madame de Salzmann:
“The most important exercise is to have the body as relaxed as possible in every situation. During quiet work, there should be no tension. That will allow the relationship with higher energy. You cannot do it, but be open to it. If there is no relationship, stay in front of the lack. When doing anything else, keep a sensation of the body.”
"I cannot do it, but I have to try. If a connection is not made, stay in front of the lack of connection. It is necessary to know this lack. I cannot do it, but it can be done in me; and I have a part to play."
