According to Osho, true self-control is not repression or indulgence but simple, moment-to-moment awareness. Watching is the master key: by seeing impulses, senses and energies as they arise, they are transformed rather than suppressed, preserving sensitivity, joy and humor. Don't philosophize; practice direct, existential witnessing; from this clarity, intelligent order and natural self-mastery flower without violence against yourself.
Gently watch your thoughts and urges without fighting or following them, and they settle and transform by themselves.
