exercise to achieve Saakshi

Osho, the great spiritual master has suggested this beautiful and simple meditation exercise to achieve Saakshi Bhaav.

Whenver you are walking, talking, moving, dancing jogging, whirling, stop immediately for a movement.

You movement stops.

But something still moves.

Watch the movement.

Watch the non movement.

Watch your body.

Watch that you which is watching the body.

Be aware af the presence of body.

Be aware of the presence of you, which is not body.

Watch your body as if you are watching someone else.

Continue your work.

Try doing this whenever possible.

Done atleast thrice in a day will benefit you by bringing more energy to your center. Many other advantages, though they vary from person to person.

Saakshi: Witnessing

Buddha has discussed about Saakshi Bhaav, the Witnessing Attitude. It is of prime importance in a spiritual person's life. This is a step of great determination. This is a door to awaken many dormant possibilities. Saakshi is the dual arrowed consciousness.

Being available to this witnessing, dual arrowed consciousness lead to the knowing of existing and existant. This tell you that there is more to achieve. It constantly reminds you of a greater witnessing where witnesse and witness both disappear. All that remains is "Amness".

This further lead to Tathata. The final destination in a seeker life.

The blooming of Tathata is the blooming of lotus. The journey ends where it began. But it continues. The end becomes life. Tathata is "Isness". Tathata is "Total Acceptence". This acceptance is total because you accept gracefully and graciously whatever happens in the life. You become he event itself. You leave the laws of Karma behind. That is what Shree Bhagwat Geeta also says. When you become the "Karma" itself, you stop accumulating the Karmas and all that was there is balanced.

To achieve the state of "Total acceptance" on has to go through "Total awareness". That is the path.
