Is there a difference between making choices and judging?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"In the silence of your innermost being, there is no choice and no judgment; only the pure essence of existence remains."
According to Osho, in the realm of awakening there’s no real difference: choice, judgment, and discrimination are all movements of the mind’s marketplace. For the inner journey, drop them entirely—there is no judge, no judged, only silent emptiness (“nothing holy, no knowing”). In ordinary affairs, choosing is fine; but to taste your innermost aliveness, let all evaluating fall away.
Inside, stop picking and rating; be quietly empty, and you’ll feel more alive.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces inner conflict and overthinking by ending constant evaluation.
- Deepens meditation and presence, allowing silence to reveal itself.
- Loosens ego-identity built on judging, bringing peace and clarity in daily actions.
