How is it possible to enter the gunatita state?

definition
"To enter the gunatita state, disidentify from the body-mind and skillfully transform each guna's essence, revealing the ever-free witness that transcends them all."
According to Osho, one enters gunatita not by choosing a so-called good guna but by disidentifying from body-mind and skillfully using whatever guna is present. Recognize your actual temperament honestly; turn tamas' pain into the urge to rise, rajas' energy into conscious service, and sattva's lightness into non-attachment to its pleasures. In this clarity, the ever-free witness, already beyond the gunas, stands revealed.
Notice what mood you’re in, use it wisely to be kind and aware, and remember you’re the quiet watcher—not your body, mind, or moods.
Why this matters practically
- Turns any state (laziness, busyness, or calm) into a doorway to awareness, not a trap.
- Cuts attachment to pleasure, knowledge, or activity that prolongs bondage.
- Anchors practice in honest self-observation and the witnessing sense of I.
