According to Osho, the injunction 'be a witness' is addressed to the real you—the conscious awareness distinct from body and brain cells—the driver who uses the body-mind car. It is not spoken to neurons or to the soul (already awake), but to the one feigning sleep, asked to stop pretending and cooperate in remembering its ever-awake nature. Witnessing is a call to this inner knower to resume alert presence.
