"When you forget to be aware during your work, you immerse yourself fully, but true mastery comes when awareness flows effortlessly alongside your actions. Train your awareness in simplicity, and it will blossom into presence even in the most complex tasks."
According to Osho, forgetting awareness at work is natural because first-rate work demands total absorption, as if you are absent. If you try to hold awareness prematurely, the work becomes divided and superficial. Train awareness in simple, daily actions until it becomes effortless and spontaneous; then it can accompany even complex tasks. Until then, allow deep involvement, and cultivate awareness separately to mature into seamless presence.
It’s okay to forget yourself while working; practice awareness in small things until it becomes automatic, then it will stay even during big tasks.
