Witness

state of "no-mind"

no thought (not thinking)

thoughts are just passing in front of your vision

just reflecting what is passing by

just pure experience of witnessing

if you think that you are witnessing, then you are not

  • you have missed the point
  • let it sink, no need to say anything

creating a thought, creates ripples in your consciousness.

  • it disturbs your consciousness
  • like throwing pebbles in a silent lake, it reflects the moon & the stars but your pebbles creates ripples and it distorts the stars, the reflection

seeing things without judging
seeing things without verbalizing
seeing things without evaluating

your witness cannot witness itself

don't start enjoying the thought
the moment you say this is beautiful, my mind is silent, my being is still, then you have missed it!

it is our nature

it is something behind the mind

it is the pure sky behind the clouds

As the mind becomes completely empty, your whole energy becomes aflame of awakening.

Just by watching, you immediately get out of the mind

Meditation starts by being separate from the mind, by being a witness. That is the only way of separating yourself from anything

OSHO -"I’m simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I’m saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes"

It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher.

And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.


That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.
