Awareness is the key to true understanding of self from "summary" of Awareness by Osho
True understanding of oneself arises from the depths of awareness. It involves peeling away the layers of conditioning and societal expectations that cloud the mind. Most individuals live in a kind of sleep, driven by automatic reactions and unexamined beliefs. This state of being prevents a genuine understanding of one’s own nature. To awaken, one must observe thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. This observation is not an act of criticism but a gentle exploration. When thoughts arise, instead of getting entangled in them, there is an opportunity to step back and witness their transient nature. This practice cultivates a deeper connection with oneself, revealing a clarity that is often obscured. The journey to understanding involves recognizing that one is not merely the thoughts or emotions that pass through. It is a movement toward the essence that lies beneath, a purity that exists beyond the chaos of daily life. This essence is often masked by fears, desires, and societal roles that dictate identity. To truly know oneself, one must confront these illusions and embrace vulnerability. Engagement with the present moment is essential. Each moment offers insight into the self, if one is willing to listen. The simplicity found in being present allows for a profound connection with reality. It is here, in this space of presence, that transformation occurs. The more one observes without attachment, the more layers of misunderstanding dissolve.- Revealing both light and shadow. This journey becomes a dance of discovery, illuminating the essence of being, unencumbered by the past or future. Each step taken in awareness is a step closer to true self-understanding.
