What does it mean to be alert without tension?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Be alert without tension by simply watching whatever arises, allowing it to pass like clouds in the sky, and in this unconditional let-go, your true presence will reveal itself effortlessly."
According to Osho, to be alert without tension is relaxed, choiceless awareness: stop trying to be present, drop all judgments, and simply watch whatever arises—memories, fantasies, silence—like clouds and birds in the sky. Do nothing, don’t repress or select. In unconditional let-go, repressed material surfaces and passes; then the inner sky clears by itself, and natural, luminous presence—true alertness without strain—remains.
It’s like lying on the grass and just watching clouds pass—seeing everything inside you without trying to change it.
