"Real consciousness is the stillness at the center where all dualities dissolve, and in that silence, the self ceases to exist."
According to Osho, real consciousness is an utterly peaceful, middle-state—neither high nor low, hot nor cold—where all extremes cancel in perfect balance. Like a pendulum stilled at center, the mind (time) stops; transcendence happens. There is no exhilaration and no claimant to say, “I am conscious.” Any excitement belongs to the mind’s swing. In true awareness, dualities end and the knower dissolves into silent presence.
It’s a calm, steady stillness where your mind stops swinging to extremes, and there’s no “me” rushing to label it.
Why this matters practically
- You stop chasing highs and fearing lows, growing steady equanimity.
- You respond to life and relationships without reactive extremes.
- Practical cue: pause, center, and simply witness thoughts/feelings without leaning either way.
