a perfect witness you are a god, you are no more a human being. That's why we have called Buddha a god, Krishna a god, for this reason -- not that they have created the world but because in that moment of alertness, watchfulness, they are no more identified with the body, with the mind; they are not identified at all. The mind is separate, the body is separate, the world is separate, and they are only the watcher.
It gives such peace -- just the idea that one is a watcher. Somebody hits you on your face. If you are just a watcher then nothing affects you. It is as if somebody else has been hit; you have been just an eye-witness, that's all. It is none of your business. One can even laugh at the whole ridiculousness of it, one can even enjoy it. Somebody insults you and you can watch. There are millions of opportunities in life, when, if you watch, problems won't arise. Problems arise when you become identified with the body or with the mind. Then you get disturbed, distracted.
It is exactly that, precisely that: just think that this watcher is sitting on the top of a hill, far away, distant, just looking down in the valley. As other people are moving, you are too. Slowly, slowly you. will be able to hover over your body and you will be able to see that the body is doing things. And the body will be able to do things more perfectly because there will be no distraction: there will be such a silent, peaceful, milieu inside.
Try it, and after one month tell me how things
[A sannyasin says her spine gives way sometimes when she's sitting. Osho checks her energy.]
Nothing much to be worried about, mm ? Allow them whenever they come. Just a little energy is moving, but very little. It's nothing to be concerned about. There are people whose energy here is moving like a flood. It is just a beginning: a small amount of energy has started moving. It will grow, but if you start becoming afraid of it or worried about it then in a subtle way you will prevent its growth.
Enjoy it so that it can grow. When it has grown completely it will disappear, but then the disappearance is beautiful because the energy has done its work.
It happens
