Is part of our consciousness aware of the endless silence of being?

definition
"When thinking ceases, the dewdrop does not observe the ocean; it becomes the ocean, revealing the vast, living stillness of our true being."
According to Osho, no separate 'part' of consciousness stands apart to notice silence; when thinking ceases, the questioner dissolves and awareness discovers itself as the oceanic, beginningless silence. The dewdrop does not observe the ocean—it becomes it. What remains is wholeness without an 'I': a vast, living stillness that has always been, in which all questions and separations vanish.
It’s not a little part watching silence; when thinking stops, the ‘me’ drops and only the quiet, alive whole remains.
