How will one know when awareness arises?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Awareness is not something to be known; it is the silent presence in which knowing and not-knowing dance together. Simply be present, and awareness will reveal itself without the need for a separate knower."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, you don’t need to know when awareness arises. The very demand to ‘know’ is from the mind; awareness is not an object or event to recognize but the silent presence in which knowing and not-knowing occur. When it flowers, the urge to verify drops. Simply be present; awareness reveals itself without a separate knower.
Don’t try to check if you’re aware; just be here, and awareness takes care of itself.
Why this matters practically
- Stops endless self-checking and anxiety about progress.
- Shifts focus from thinking to present-moment being.
- Frees energy for compassionate, attentive living.
