Ask Osho!

When speaking to disciples, Osho explained that suffering arises because you mistake yourself for a participant in Prakriti’s drama; identification and doership (asmita) bind you to alternating pleasure and pain. The remedy is Purusha: witness-consciousness. Act outwardly as an actor, but inwardly remain the seer—non-identifying, non-doer. When the inner participation ceases, the play continues, yet suffering drops.

Osho's perspective on Purusha and Prakriti

"You are not the actor in the drama of life; you are the witness. When you cease to identify with the play, suffering dissolves and the dance continues."

Live like you’re in a movie—do what’s needed, but remember you’re the watcher, not the character, and the hurt fades.
