"Fear dissolves when you become a silent witness to both happiness and misery, rooted in meditative watchfulness, where a calm center emerges and anxieties untangle."
According to Osho, fear dissolves when you stop chasing happiness and fleeing suffering and instead become a silent witness to both. Happiness and misery are excitations; they shake you only when you identify with them. Awareness of this very condition is the beginning. Root yourself in meditative watchfulness, neither hoping nor resisting, and a calm center appears. From that centeredness, anxieties untangle and fear loses its grip.
Why this matters practically
- You stop being tossed by highs and lows, so choices become steadier.
- Anxiety eases as you practice witnessing breath, body, and thoughts.
- Resilience grows, letting you face uncertainty without panic.
