Destroying EGO by Watching (Osho)

Question: 

What is the fastest and the most dangerous way of finishing our ego?

Answer:

Ego...have you seen it, have you touched it...where is it...

Ego is the biggest lie, how can you eliminate something which is not there. If you fight with the darkness, one thing is sure...you will lose because if you want to win over someone that someone has to be there.

And there is no easy or difficult way to finish the ego and there is no fastest or slowest way to eliminate the ego...because ego doesn’t exist. So ego has to be there if you want to destroy it.

There is only one thing and that is being aware and conscious, awareness is the only way which can open up your eyes, you don’t have to fight with anything you just have to open up your eyes.

Start becoming aware of your body and you will see that the body starts becoming beautiful; the body will have a very beautiful harmony.

Then start becoming aware of your mind, of your thought which are going around and then will see that thoughtfulness will start happening and for the first time you will start hearing the music of the Divine. The dust which is gathered around you will start disappearing.

And finally start becoming aware of your feelings which are very subtle and delicate, now watching is reaching the final step.

Start with the body then the mind and finally watching your feelings...take these 3 steps and the 4th happens on its own.

The fourth brings the gift of awareness for you.

You don’t have to fight with the ego, you simply have to wake up, you simply have to start watching yourself, your action, your thoughts and finally you.

There is only one thing and that is awareness, watching, conscious, looking, seeing, alertness...just watching...watching...watching....
