According to Osho, awareness does not change merely with age or through fear and suffering; it appears when your inner climate is ready—silence, love, devotion, courage, and longing for the unknown. Trying to force it only breeds frustration. When this atmosphere matures, awareness comes of its own accord as a gift, flowering into gratitude—the only prayer he calls truly religious.
Awareness shows up naturally when you create a quiet, loving, brave space inside—not just because you get older or hurt.
