The art of knowing yourself: Who am I?

When we sleep at night, and after waking up in the morning, you say, "Wow!" What a sleep I had today. I enjoyed it a lot. You were asleep, then who liked this sleep? Who understands the quality of sleep? Good and bad dreams come in sleep; after waking up in the morning, wow! It was a very good dream or a very bad dream; who knows this? I eat food and do not take any tension of digesting it; I just enjoy chewing it.

I do not take the tension of making meat, bones, etc., from it. Then how does this happen? Who woke you up? Who remembers the dream? Who is he? You were in deep sleep, then who felt that I had a good sleep? Someone was awake. You were not in that dream; you were not there; otherwise, how would you have known? A play was going on, and you were present there like an observer. If it is said, I have nothing in my hands, and if it is said, I have a lot. Many things can become easy for the one who knows how to understand. This visible body is not me. I think I am the mind, but this is also not me. I am a part of God, a powerful consciousness. I am that supreme consciousness, the soul itself. I am omnipotent, but for centuries, thinking that I am the body has now become a complete belief that I am the body.

Friends, my guru Bhagwan Osho always used to say, Be a witness; see everything as a witness. This is an art; it has to be learned. You can also see your anger; when anger comes, it does not come suddenly. We think that anger is about to come now; we feel it; instead of stopping it, we move further, and anger explodes. We do not see it properly; that is why it happens. It should be seen as a witness; then it can be stopped. The same thing happens in greed also. The same thing happens in sex. We know that now sexual desire is going to overpower us; still, we jump into it. In meditation, we have to focus on this. If you try to calm your mind forcefully, you will not be able to do it. Therefore, it is important for us to understand all this about the mind. I am not the mind, so why should I focus on it? I am the soul; why do I need to run after the mind? I myself am blissful, conscious, and all-powerful; I am a part of God. This is a meditation technique; it can calm your mind. If we do not try to understand this, then what is the difference between me and other animals and creatures? God has given me the power to understand things deeply; I have got the art of becoming conscious; I have got intelligence, which other creatures do not have. All living beings, even birds, eat, drink, sleep, and have sex. So what do we do differently after getting so much? That is why we have to live consciously, try to find ourselves, and meditate every day. We have to learn the art of looking at life properly. Friends, that is all.
