Osho on What is sleep?

What is sleep?

Sleep is not the absence of consciousness, but a deep state of awareness where the body rejuvenates while the inner being remains a steady flame.

— Osho
According to Osho, sleep is samadhi: a dreamless, conscious rest where the body relaxes while the inner being remains fully alert, like a steady candle in a windless room. In true sleep there is no repression-driven dreaming; awareness continues unchanged from waking to night. Sleep rejuvenates the body, not the witness, which never sleeps; the awakened simply watch the body’s quiet restoration.

Sleep rests your body while, deep inside, a calm inner light can stay quietly awake.
