Osho encourages the seeker to become a "witness" (Sakshi). When anger arises, one should not say "I am angry," but rather, "I am witnessing anger." This shift in perspective moves the center of gravity from the ego (the actor) to the self (the observer). As one witnesses the mind, the gaps between thoughts begin to appear. In those gaps, the ego cannot exist. Osho suggests that the ego is like darkness; it has no positive existence of its own. It is simply the absence of light (awareness). By bringing in the light, the darkness vanishes automatically.
In the vast library of human psychology, the "ego" is often treated as the executive center of the personality—the necessary mediator between our primal desires and our moral conscience. However, in the spiritual discourses of the mystic Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), the ego is not a functional asset to be managed; it is a fundamental disease to be cured.
