What is the essence of self-awareness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Self-awareness is not a mental exercise but a heartful attunement to existence, where trust awakens and we feel life directly, returning us to presence and communion with the universe."
According to Osho, self-awareness is a heartful attunement to existence, not head-centered analysis. When the mind is a servant and the heart participates, trust (shraddha) awakens; we feel life directly—like listening to birds or waves—and are moved again by nature, God’s living body. From this loving sensitivity, real understanding blooms and the sense of something missing dissolves; we return to presence, aliveness, and communion.
Feel life with your heart—like listening to music—and let thinking help, not rule, so you and the world are in tune.
