According to Osho, finding oneself seems difficult because conditioning turns our attention outward and traps us in compulsive thinking. Self-knowledge is actually simplest, but our trained mental chatter makes it appear hard. The way back is unlearning: drop concern with things and thoughts, practice silent, non-judgmental watching, and let witnessing arise naturally.
It’s hard because we were taught to look outside and keep thinking; stop labeling, sit quietly, and just watch so your real self can show.
