Sakshi (Witnessing). You are angry. The first step is not to suppress the anger or act it out, but to simply watch it. Osho teaches you to create a distance: "I am not the anger; I am the one watching the anger." Similarly, watch your thoughts as if they are clouds passing in the sky.
These three steps are not sequential in the usual sense; they are layers of a single explosion into consciousness. The journey begins not with God, but with the self. Osho states that most humans live in a state of "mechanical sleep," identified completely with their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
"Awakening is not an achievement. It is a recognition of that which has always been the case." — Osho
