"Watch the darkness within you without judgment, and it will dissolve in the light of your pure awareness; this is the essence of effortless effort."
According to Osho, yes—if you simply watch it without doing anything, judging, or trying to change it. The dark, heavy space is not you; as pure, silent awareness deepens, its innate luminosity radiates and the darkness dissolves on its own. This is the inner law of 'effortless effort': action by inaction. Techniques only prepare; real meditation begins when non-doing allows your being’s light to dispel the gloom.
Sit quietly and just watch the heavy feeling without trying to fix it; your inner light will grow and the darkness will fade by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks the habit of fixing, which often feeds inner turmoil.
- Builds calm, nonjudgmental presence during difficult moods.
- Helps you recognize you are awareness, not the passing darkness.
