Can the ultimate state be attained through continuous witnessing without meditation, and how does one become free of witnessing?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Freedom is not from witnessing; it is the embrace of witnessing, for it is your very nature."
According to Osho, witnessing itself is meditation; they are not two. All techniques only prepare the ground by removing bodily and mental obstacles; when clear, effortless witnessing flowers—the real meditation—and the ultimate is glimpsed, followed by celebration. Trying to “witness without meditation” is like planting roses among weeds: possible but stunted. Freedom “from” witnessing is misguided; freedom is into witnessing, your very nature.
Clean the inner weeds with practices so quiet watching appears by itself; that watching is your real self, not something to drop.
Why this matters practically
- Use techniques to clear tension and thought-noise; then simply witness.
- Don’t bypass preparation; it stabilizes awareness.
- Let witnessing infuse daily actions and respond with gratitude.
