What does it mean to cultivate the feeling of dying in the night samadhi practice?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"To cultivate the feeling of dying is to dissolve the constructed 'I' into silence, allowing the witness to emerge in the egoless absence where true consciousness reveals itself."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, to cultivate the feeling of dying at night means letting the constructed 'I' dissolve into zero so only the silent witness remains. Do not affirm 'I am the witness'; instead, relax the sense of me, watch thoughts and identity fade, and surrender as if dying. In that egoless absence, the ever‑present consciousness reveals itself.
Before sleep, imagine your ‘me’ melting away and just keep quietly watching until only the watching is left.
Why this matters practically
- Eases clinging and anxiety before sleep
- Trains non-attachment by witnessing thoughts and emotions
- Deepens restful presence that carries into waking life
