You exist as an idea in your mind.

The reality that you perceive through your senses is merely a fragment of what truly is. When Osho says “You exist as an idea in your mind,” it is a beckoning to delve deeper into the understanding of your own consciousness.

You believe you are the body, you believe you are the mind, but these are just dimensions you have come to identify with very intimately. Your body is a physical form subject to change and decay, while your mind is a collection of thoughts, experiences, and memories – constantly fluctuating and ephemeral.

The essence of you – your true being – is beyond the confines of these ideas. It is a pure consciousness, an observer, a witness to the dance of creation and existence. The notion that you are these ideas is indeed a limitation.

To live as an idea in your mind suggests being restricted by your own beliefs, identities, and patterns that you have concocted through interaction with the world. You box yourself within the finite when in reality, you are as boundless as the universe itself.

To expand beyond this idea is to meditate – to watch the mind and realise that you are not the thoughts that come and go. You are the silence beneath them. You are the space in which these thoughts arise and disappear.

Recognise this space, nurture this awareness, and you shall find freedom from the confines of the idea that you once believed you were. You are infinite, my friend, as vast and profound as existence itself. Be that, and let the idea of who you are in your mind dissolve into the beauty of who you really are.

In this knowing, you become boundless, and life becomes a play, a divine Leela, where you are no longer just a character, but also the audience, the playwright, and the stage itself.

Remember, it is a journey from the mind to no-mind, from thought to awareness, from illusion to enlightenment.

Be well on your path.
