"Awareness naturally pulsates, rising and falling like day and night; embrace both the peaks and valleys, for in their rhythm, the witnessing consciousness awakens."
According to Osho, awareness naturally pulsates: it rises and falls in a rhythmic alternation with unawareness, just as day follows night. Don’t make a problem of this; unawareness is a necessary rest that renews alertness. In meditation you’ll meet peaks and valleys; enjoy both. By welcoming the whole rhythm without identification, a deeper center appears: the witnessing consciousness that celebrates all polarities.
Awareness comes and goes like day and night—let the quiet times refuel you, and just watch both without clinging.
