How long should one think about the soul being separate from the body?

“

Stop thinking about the soul's separateness; instead, sit in silence and watch your thoughts dissolve, for in the stillness, the truth of your being reveals itself.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, you should not think about the soul’s separateness at all. Thinking is useless here. Instead, sit quietly, eyes closed, and for fifteen days practice half an hour of silent watching, neither cooperating with nor resisting thoughts. As gaps between thoughts widen, direct vision arises: the soul is experienced as distinct from the body.
Don’t think about it—just watch your thoughts quietly for 30 minutes daily for 15 days, and in the silent gaps you’ll feel you’re not the body.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts from belief and imagination to firsthand seeing.
- Quiets the mind, easing stress and reactivity.
- Provides a clear 30-minute daily practice to sense inner freedom.
