What happens to polar opposites in witnessing consciousness?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"In witnessing consciousness, polar opposites dissolve, leaving only a silent, non-dual presence where love exists without the shadow of hate."

According to Osho, in witnessing consciousness polar opposites—like love and hate—simply dissolve; with their disappearance, 'happening' itself ends and only a silent, non-dual presence remains. Around such a being one may sense a gentle, diffuse warmth—love without hate—but the awakened one is not in any mood. They are pure presence, beyond intensity, beyond fluctuation.
When you just watch, the fight between opposites stops and only quiet being is left.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you drop reactivity and drama by seeing moods arise and pass.
- Nurtures steady compassion without the burn of attachment or aversion.
- Gives inner stability: you rest as presence, not as changing emotions.
