Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter I, § 6. Semi-simple Lie algebras

Suppose further that σ\sigma and τ\tau are semi-simple and hence NN (resp. PP) is the direct sum of the NδN_\delta (resp. PδP_\delta). For all n∈Nn \in N (resp. p∈Pp \in P), let n♮n^\natural (resp. p♮p^\natural) be its component in N0N_0 (resp. P0P_0). Let m0∈M0m_0 \in M_0. Then for all n∈Nn \in N, (m0.n)♮=m0.n♮(m_0.n)^\natural = m_0.n^\natural.

By linearity it suffices to consider the case where n∈Nδn \in N_\delta. If δ≠δ0\delta \neq \delta_0, n♮=0n^\natural = 0 and m0.n∈Pδm_0.n \in P_\delta (Lemma 4), hence (m0.n)♮=0=m0.n♮(m_0.n)^\natural = 0 = m_0.n^\natural. If δ=δ0\delta = \delta_0, n♮=nn^\natural = n and m0.n∈P0m_0.n \in P_0 (Lemma 4), hence (m0.n)♮=m0.n=m0.n♮(m_0.n)^\natural = m_0.n = m_0.n^\natural.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
