"When you see an error utterly, like feeling fire burn, the very seeing ends it; understanding is alchemical and the habit drops by itself."
According to Osho, you avoid repeating mistakes not by judging or comparing, but by bringing total alertness to the present act. When you see an error utterly—like feeling fire burn—the very seeing ends it; understanding is alchemical and the habit drops by itself. If it doesn’t drop, you haven’t truly seen. Stay aware now; let direct experience teach, not the mind’s evaluations.
Pay full attention to what you’re doing; when you truly feel something is harmful, you stop naturally—no judging needed.
