Namaste to You on this Day ... 
In a recent conversation with a sister, we talked about how our egos so easily and innocently may trap us into making judgements that only create separation within ourselves and between ourselves and others.  This is something that I have been watching ... Where is that fine line of just looking at something or being judgmental?  Where is the answer?

 I believe these words written by Osho are a reminder for us on this subject ... 

“I'm simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I'm saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes.

It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say “this is good, this
is bad,” you have already jumped onto the thought process.

It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, A watcher.

And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.

That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.”

Yes, another reminder that peace starts within.
Thank you, Osho and thank YOU for 
joining me in our awakening!
