According to Osho, true self-awareness is the inner wine that dissolves anxiety and ends the need to escape through outer intoxicants. It keeps you centered ‘within yourself,’ so compassion and non-harm arise naturally—immorality begins only when you trespass into others’ lives. Awareness transforms tension before it becomes destructive, allowing freedom without damage, joy without forgetfulness.
Being awake inside makes you peaceful, so you don’t need to escape, and you naturally don’t hurt others.
