Preview — Awareness by Osho
(Osho Insights for a new way of living )
Underlying all meditation techniques, including martial arts-and in fact underlying all great athletic performances-is a quality of being awake and present to the moment, a quality that Osho calls awareness. Once we can identify and understand what this quality of awareness is, we have the key to self-mastery in virtually every area of our lives.
According to great masters..more

If you want to fully understand the purpose to life and meditation, this book is an absolute keeper. A great book by a great man, he might have been dead for over a decade but his words are still as relevant today as before.
This book is great on the idea of witnessing and watching your own actions. Osho is a wonderful teacher and I am so happy I came across this book.
It is such an extraordinary book which written by on of the most influential philosophers in twenty first century. You will be shocked many times, you will feel like if you have not learned anything in this life. Osho will show you how to be aware, alert and live your moment as it comes, and get rid of ego tricks that make you a prisoner of the past or the future which not yet come..
You will enjoy reading it..
The first book that I read from Osho.
extremely deep for a short book one of oshos best . take your time with it you wont be let down
This books is a culmination of all OSHO , ZEN, Tao and spiritual teachings. Read this book and you are done. No need to read any other books.
The Basic is AWARENESS.

Short book but quite hard for me to go through because I have to pause on every page when I realize something interesting. You have to read with an open-mind though because his style is quite abrasive and confrontational; and a lot of stuffs that he says are symbolic and exaggeration for effect, that’s just his style. But overall, I still think it’s a good book. For me there are new insights every few pages.

I hate that my reading patterns are so off these days that it’s taking me seemingly forever to finish anything, and yet here we are. That said, though it’s not the title of his I’m come away from the most enriched by, it has some important lessons about centering the mind and mindfulness, which can only be of use to someone like me with an anxiety disorder to deal with 24/7. Reading Osho in itself is actually somewhat meditative; his sentence structure and writing style are very calming to read.
This book helped me find the deepest mindfulness or living in the present I have found.. Maybe it can help you on your journey too! It’s not a good first book on these topics, I’d read Eckhart Tolle for that but this takes it deeper.. I’ll read it again soon! Big fan and I don’t say that about just any book, I quit reading two others half way before this one because they were not impactful.

If you want to understand the awareness approach as proposed by Buddha and Upanishads, this is a very useful book. It is written in simple and lucid style. Osho adds his usual persuasive perspective to play to seduce the reader to embrace this panacea to life’s problems.
There are more than a few moments when I wonder is Osho was misanthropic. Many other moments, absolute guru-ic genius.
Every book of Osho is a gem.There are so many matters which are most important for good living and simple living. I will read the book once again. every single line in the book resonates with the truth.
one of the best reading experience in this year, the resembles are still there in the heart :) thank you osho, you are great .

Buddha’s mindful meditation is the greatest gift to the world. Being aware every moment is the most important thing. Meditation can only make one aware. Osho says, meditation is the only true religion. Life has no goal no purpose, life itself is the goal and purpose, awareness is the technique to attain it. Awareness is the difference between death and life.
Buddha’s one of the most important teaching is being aware every moment. By practicing mindful meditation, one reaches, to his or her inner..more

A strong and much needed book in today’s stressful living conditions.
Here’s the complete review of Awareness — The Key to Living in Balance, by Osho.
In this book, Osho teaches the essence of meditation and living in the present moment. He shows how, with practice, we can avoid being entrapped in the vicious circle of our thoughts. He explains the techniques for relaxing our mind and body, and letting go of all tensions. He points out the difference between religion and spirituality, between c..more
I guess we are so bombarded with enlightenment and knowledge quotes that it somehow makes these types of books and all quotes in general seem like everyone else has all the answers except me..
I might get back to this. I just need to detox from the fast feeding on enlightenment, self-awareness, and being the best a person can be. One step at a time.
I wish I could manage to do it one day and to find the balance everytime I loose it..Thanks for lending me your book my friend, you know who you’re ;)
‘Cuanto mas consciente se vuelve uno, mas se recuerda a si mismo, con mas cautela actúa, mas alerta esta, mas heridas empiezan a desaparecer, hay menos brotes de ira, menos odio, menos celos y menos sentimientos posesivos’. Osho
this book will blow your mind across a deeper meditation about yourself, your feelings and a soul without ego. as such, Osho isn’t a philosopher but he’s going to the most deep space from your inner and lift up a new consciousness to live flying above the things happend to you. you wont just improve a new vision for the world, you’ll get new eyes.
Osho one of the last great mystics shares his knowledge with his characteristic style ,one of deep understanding along with a brilliant sense of humor.

Inwardly, you were already talking. Now you have uttered something outwardly, but as far as you are concerned nothing has changed, nothing has happened. But when someone else utters something, for you something new has happened. He was silent before and now he has uttered something. If you yourself are talking within, then when you utter something you will not be aware. Someone else may become aware that now you have broken silence. You are aware of others because inwardly you are constantly tal..more

“Mind is basically the beginning of madness. And if you are too much in it, it will drive you mad.
Mind has no certainity about anything. If you are betweeen two polarities of the mind,in a limbo — always to do or not to do,you will go crazy. You are crazy! Before it happens,jump out and have a look from outside at the mind.
Mind is basically indecisive and awareness is basically decisive.So any act of awareness is total,full without repentance.” — 3 likes

There is much difference between awareness and witnessing. Witnessing is still an act; you are doing it, the ego is there. So the phenomenon of witnessing is divided between the subject and the object.
Osho Awareness Pdf 2017
Witnessing is a relationship between subject and object.
Awareness is absolutely devoid of any subjectivity or objectivity. There is no one who is witnessing in awareness;
Awareness is a total act, integrated;
the subject and the object are not related in it; they are dissolved. So awareness doesn’t mean that anyone is aware, nor does it mean that anything is being attended to.
Awareness is total — total subjectivity and total objectivity as a single phenomenon — while in witnessing a duality exists between subject and object. Awareness is non-doing; witnessing implies a doer. But through witnessing awareness is possible, because witnessing means that it is a conscious act; it is an act, but conscious. You can do something and be unconscious —
our ordinary activity is unconscious activity — but if you become conscious in it, it becomes witnessing. So from ordinary unconscious activity to awareness there is a gap that can be filled by witnessing.
Witnessing is a technique, a method toward awareness. It is not awareness, but, as compared to ordinary activity, unconscious activity, it is a higher step
Something has changed: activity has become conscious, unconsciousness has been replaced by consciousness.
That is, the activity has to be replaced by inactivity.
That will be the second step.
It is difficult to jump from ordinary, unconscious action into awareness. It is possible but arduous, so a step in between is helpful. If one begins by witnessing conscious activity, then the jump becomes easier — the jump into awareness without any conscious object, without any conscious subject, without any conscious activity at all. This doesn’t mean that awareness isn’t consciousness; it is pure consciousness, but no one is conscious about it.
There is still a difference between consciousness and awareness. Consciousness is a quality of your mind, but it is not your total mind. Your mind can be both conscious and unconscious, but when you transcend your mind, there is no unconsciousness and no corresponding consciousness. There is awareness.
Awareness means that the total mind has become aware. Now the old mind is not there, but there is the quality of being conscious. Awareness has become the totality; the mind itself is now part of the awareness. We cannot say that the mind is aware; we can only meaningfully say that the mind is conscious. Awareness means transcendence of the mind, so it is not the mind that is aware.
It is only through transcendence of the mind, through going beyond mind, that awareness becomes possible.
Consciousness is a quality of the mind, awareness is the transcendence; it is going beyond the mind. Mind, as such, is the medium of duality, so consciousness can never transcend duality. It is always conscious of something, and there is always someone who is conscious. So consciousness is part and parcel of the mind, and mind, as such, is the source of all duality, of all divisions, whether they are between subject and object, activity or inactivity, consciousness or unconsciousness. Every type of duality is mental. Awareness is nondual, so awareness means the state of no mind.
Then what is the relationship between consciousness and witnessing? Witnessing is a state, and consciousness is a means toward witnessing. If you begin to be conscious, you achieve witnessing. If you begin to be conscious of your acts, conscious of your day-to-day happenings, conscious of everything that surrounds you, then you begin to witness.
Witnessing comes as a consequence of consciousness. You cannot practice witnessing; you can only practice consciousness. Witnessing comes as a consequence, as a shadow, as a result, as a byproduct. The more you become conscious, the more you go into witnessing, the more you come to be a witness. So consciousness is a method to achieve witnessing.
And the second step is that witnessing will become a method to achieve awareness.
So these are the three steps: consciousness, witnessing, awareness. But where we exist is the lowest rank: that is, in unconscious activity. Unconscious activity is the state of our minds.
Through consciousness you can achieve witnessing, and through witnessing you can achieve awareness, and through awareness you can achieve ‘no achievement.’ Through awareness you can achieve all that is already achieved. After awareness there is nothing; awareness is the end.
Awareness is the end of spiritual progress; unawareness is the beginning. Unawareness means a state of material existence. So unawareness and unconsciousness are not both the same. Unawareness means matter. Matter is not unconscious; it is unaware.
Animal existence is an unconscious existence; human existence is a mind phenomenon — ninety-nine percent unconscious and one percent conscious. This one percent consciousness means you are one percent conscious of your ninety-nine percent unconsciousness. But if you become conscious of your own consciousness, then the one percent will go on increasing, and the ninety-nine percent unconsciousness will go on decreasing.
If you become one hundred percent conscious, you become a witness, a sakshi. If you become a sakshi, you have come to the jumping point from where the jump into awareness becomes possible.
In awareness you lose the witness and only witnessing remains: you lose the doer, you lose the subjectivity, you lose the egocentric consciousness. Then consciousness remains, without the ego. The circumference remains without the center.
This circumference without the center is awareness. Consciousness without any center, without any source, without any motivation, without any source from which it comes — a ‘no source’ consciousness — is awareness.
So you move from the unaware existence that is matter, prakriti, towards awareness. You may call it the divine, the godly, or whatever you choose to call it. Between matter and the divine, the difference is always of consciousness.
