Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 3. Compact forms of complex semi-simple Lie algebras

If the complex Lie algebra a=sl(n,C)\mathfrak{a}=\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(n,\mathbf{C}) is equipped with the splitting and Chevalley system introduced in Chap. VIII, §13, no. 1 (IX), then, with the notations in no. 2,

au=su(n,C),a0=sl(n,R),au∩a0=o(n,R) \mathfrak{a}_u=\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(n,\mathbf{C}),\mathfrak{a}_0=\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(n,\mathbf{R}),\mathfrak{a}_u\cap \mathfrak{a}_0=\mathfrak{o}(n,\mathbf{R})

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
