Who am I?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Who am I? is not a question to be answered, but a meditation to be lived; in the silence of self-inquiry, the true essence of your being reveals itself."
According to Osho, 'Who am I?' is not a question to ask others but a meditation to live. Use self-inquiry: repeat 'Who am I?' until words and feelings dissolve into a silent, living question mark. Reject all mental answers - neti, neti. When the mind falls silent, an inexpressible, transformative knowing arises - not information, but direct experience.
Don’t hunt for a label; quietly ask inside, “Who am I?” until thoughts stop, and then you just know without words.
