Should one engage in the inquiry 'Who am I?' or complete the remaining steps?

“

Choose the path that brings you joy, for in joy lies the essence of your journey; let every moment be a meditation, and you will return inwardly enriched.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, choose the approach that brings you joy—self-inquiry or any remaining steps—as long as you keep the entire camp steeped in meditation. Turn everything, even sleep and wakefulness, into meditation, maintaining an unbroken thread of awareness. What matters is totality and continuity, not the specific method. Then you’ll return inwardly enriched.
Pick the practice that makes you happy, but keep meditating all the time—day and night.
Why this matters practically
- Lets you choose a method you love, increasing consistency and depth.
- Builds continuous awareness in all activities, not just formal practice.
- Removes anxiety about the ‘right’ technique by focusing on total engagement.
