Should I continue the play-acting for security or let it go?

According to Osho, don’t escape or drop your roles; life is a leela, a play. Keep acting, but act knowingly—cultivate awareness and inner distance. Be the witness, not the doer: perform fully on the stage while remaining free within. Let go not of roles but of identification and security-seeking. Awaken where you are; keep the robe dry while moving among the drinkers.

Stay in your life and do your parts, but don’t cling—watch yourself doing them and stay free inside.
