What is the impact of society on our daily needs and mental strain?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Witness your anger and needs as they arise, and the energy behind them will dissolve, freeing you from the mental strain that society cannot alleviate."
According to Osho, society will never align with our desires; outer conditions inevitably frustrate daily conveniences, but they are not the real source of our mental strain. Blaming society sustains unconsciousness. The strain springs from our unobserved reactions. The remedy is neither repression nor indulgence but witnessing: calmly observe anger and needs as they arise, and the energy behind them dissolves, freeing us amid inevitable imperfections.
Don’t expect the world to stop bothering you; quietly watch your reactions, and the bother loses its grip.
