About this series · summary by Osho Live
"Upasana Ke Kshan" delves into the intricate layers of human consciousness, offering a profound exploration of witnessing as a path to spiritual awakening. Osho illuminates the complexities of personality, describing it as a multifaceted entity where different parts can experience various emotions simultaneously. He emphasizes that true witnessing involves a total awareness wherein consciousness is fully awake, allowing for a clear distinction between the self and external experiences. This series underscores the significance of detachment, explaining that while sensations, including pain, continue to occur, a spiritual distance can be cultivated. This awareness enables the individual to discern between the actual pain and the exaggerated suffering fabricated by the mind. Osho posits that most of our perceived misery arises from identification with these mental constructs rather than reality. By fostering a state of presence, one gradually dissolves the fictional layers of suffering, retaining only the factual essence. Through this discourse, Osho invites seekers to embrace the role of the witness, encouraging a shift from identification to liberated awareness, where life unfolds in its raw, undistorted truth. This journey not only unravels the veils of illusion but also aligns individuals with the deeper currents of inner peace and enlightenment.
