According to Osho, taking responsibility for yourself means living in awareness, alertness, and consciousness—an existential act, not an intellectual idea. Responsibility and ego cannot coexist: as awareness grows, egoic darkness disappears like night before light. Practice being responsible in each moment, and your conscious presence becomes the light that naturally dispels unconsciousness, ending the sleep of ego without struggle or suppression.
It means staying awake inside so your inner light turns off the ego’s darkness without having to push it away.
