According to Osho, the closest aspect to your unique self is energy as pure awareness—the very center. Thoughts lie a step farther out, and emotions/expressions even farther on the periphery. Turn back from expression to thinking, then to non-thinking awareness. Inwardly directed, the same energy reveals the source; outwardly, it distracts from self‑knowing.
Your truest you is the quiet awareness beneath thoughts and feelings; go inward past them to find it.
