"Until awareness dawns, we remain trapped in the same mistakes, endlessly recycling our suffering while playing hide-and-seek with ourselves."
According to Osho, repeating the same mistakes means we’re unconscious—playing hide-and-seek with ourselves—and so we fall into the same ditch again and again. Nothing else is possible until awareness dawns; no learning happens, suffering simply recycles. He feels no frustration because he has no expectations; it’s our choice how long to continue the games before becoming conscious.
If we keep doing the same wrong things, it’s because we’re asleep inside, and we’ll keep getting hurt until we wake up and pay attention.
Why this matters practically
- Notice recurring patterns and bring awareness to them to stop the cycle.
- Practice watchfulness/meditation to become conscious and learn.
- Drop expectations of others; focus on your own seeing and choice.
