Ask Osho!

What should I do to achieve this?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Awaken to the realization that the 'I' you seek is an illusion; in pure awareness, it dissolves. Surrender wordlessly, for what is given can be taken back."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, you can’t reach it by doing—every effort fattens a subtler ego. Don’t try to drop ego; awaken. Sit silently and look within; search for the ‘I’ and discover it isn’t there. In pure awareness it dissolves. If non-doing is hard, pray wordlessly in heartfelt surrender: ‘You gave this, now take it back.’
Stop trying to fix the ego; be quietly aware and look for it—when you truly look, it isn’t there; if still difficult, simply surrender in silent, heartfelt prayer.
Why this matters practically
- Avoids the trap of building a subtler spiritual ego.
- Gives a concrete practice: daily silent self-looking; if needed, wordless heartfelt prayer.
- Brings ease, clarity, and freedom from self-centered suffering.
