"The three ways thoughts release themselves are
      (1) simply by recognizing them (gcer grol),
      (2) by the power of familiarization (thoughts release themselves like a snake unraveling itself) (shar grol) and
      (3) in the culminating phase there is no way thoughts can help or harm you (like a thief who comes to an empty house) (rang grol).

​In this final phase, thoughts empower your realization of pristine awareness, serving as aids to your practice. ​​Pristine awareness constitutes 'primordial release' (ye grol) for it has never been bound by thoughts.”​
