What does the statement 'the observer is the observed' mean?

The observer and the observed are not separate; in true awareness, there is only the act of witnessing, where the mind's divisions dissolve into the unity of existence.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
When you become deeply aware, the one who looks and what is looked at are the same happening—just seeing.
Why this matters practically
- Ends inner conflict by dissolving the fight between thinker and thoughts.
- Shifts life from analysis to awareness, deepening meditation.
- Cultivates humility before mystery, easing control and anxiety.
