According to Osho, man is a circle with a sleeping center (soul/divine) and a worldly circumference; in this sleepwalking state, sensitivity at the periphery swings between pleasure and pain. Liberation comes by awakening the center—pure awareness. From there you remain aware of both inner and outer, yet untouched; sensitivity matures into clarity instead of suffering.
Don’t dull your feelings—wake up inside so they don’t push you around.
