Disidentify from the ego to find your true essence from "summary" of Awareness by Osho
Ego is a construct, a mirage that shapes perceptions and interactions. It thrives on attachments—names, titles, possessions, and relationships. This identification creates a barrier, clouding the understanding of one's authentic self. The moment one becomes entangled in this web of self-importance, life becomes a series of struggles, driven by fear, desire, and the incessant need for validation. Shedding this superficial identity is not an act of rejection but a journey inward. It requires deep observation, an honest appraisal of thoughts and emotions. Awareness becomes the mirror reflecting the truth. When one observes without attachment, a shift occurs. The noise of the mind quiets, revealing a stillness that resides beneath the chaos. This stillness is not emptiness; it is the pure essence of being. As one lets go of the ego’s clutches, the realization dawns that existence is not about accumulation but about experience. The essence is like a vast sky, encompassing all that is without judgment or limitation. Joy, love, and peace emerge naturally when one resides in this space. Relationships transform, as they are no longer defined by possession or expectation but by a shared connection to the universe.- And life unfolds in its raw beauty. The journey is not about becoming someone else but about unearthing the layers that shield the radiant core. Trust in this process; it leads to liberation. The essence is always present, waiting to be acknowledged, free from the constraints of the mind's narratives. In this awakening, the true self emerges, vibrant and uncontained.
