According to Osho, liberation cannot happen unconsciously; it comes only with awareness. The outer world’s law of achievement through effort reverses inwardly: in the inner realm, effort blocks; let-go liberates. Stop doing, relax into nondoing, and center in yourself. In silent awareness, without striving, the first glimpses of inner freedom appear, and only then can liberation be known.
No—you can’t wake up without knowing it; sit quietly, relax, and be aware, and freedom shows itself.
