Should I continue the play-acting for security or let it go?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Act fully in the play of life, but remain the witness, free from identification and the need for security. Embrace your roles without losing sight of your true self."
According to Osho, don’t escape or drop your roles; life is a leela, a play. Keep acting, but act knowingly—cultivate awareness and inner distance. Be the witness, not the doer: perform fully on the stage while remaining free within. Let go not of roles but of identification and security-seeking. Awaken where you are; keep the robe dry while moving among the drinkers.
Stay in your life and do your parts, but don’t cling—watch yourself doing them and stay free inside.
