Core Insight:
According to Osho, both self-remembering and witnessing reach the same goal—enlightenment—but their dynamics differ radically. Witnessing is simpler and safer because the ego has no foothold in it. Self-remembering is longer, harder, and dangerous; the ego easily masquerades as the self, strengthening itself. Therefore, only rare seekers succeed with self-remembering, and it requires the guidance of a rigorous master.
