What attitude should a seeker of absorption and devotion have toward the Buddha’s insistence on awareness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Drown single-pointedly in love and devotion, for through ecstatic surrender, awareness will blossom naturally. Choose one path and give it your whole life; do not dilute your faith."
According to Osho, a bhakta should not wrestle with Buddha’s demand for awareness: let Buddha mind his work, and you drown single‑pointedly in love and absorption. Choose one path and give it your whole life; don’t dilute faith by mixing methods. Through ecstatic devotion, awareness flowers naturally, and the one goal is realized.
If your way is devotion, pour your whole heart into it and don’t worry about Buddha’s watchfulness—your love will ripen into clarity on its own.

- Prevents confusion and half-hearted practice by focusing your energy on one path.
