Osho - explain witness

Sept 23 eve

Osho Adhyatma Upanishad
It is not difficult to understand the meaning of the word witness, but it is a complex thing in actual practice.
Our mind is like an arrow, sharpened at one end. U may have seen an arrow, it cannot be shot from both its ends, an arrow will only go in one direction. It can't travel in opposite directions simultaneously, it will go only towards its target in one direction.
So when the arrow is on the bow and then it is shot, there are two aspects to be considered - when it leaves the bow on which it was set, it begins to move away from it; and it begins to come closer towards the target, where it was not earlier. 

That is what we are doing with our awareness the whole time. Whenever the arrow of our awareness leaves us, the bow within becomes vacant and the arrow, on reaching the diamond, pierces its heart. Now ur awareness is with the diamonds and no longer with u. Now the awareness is somewhere else. So, all the arrows of ur awareness have reached out and pierced somewhere else - and somewhere else, and somewhere else. U have no awareness within u any more, it is always going out.
An arrow can go only in one direction, but awareness can be bi-directional - and when that happens the witness is experienced. The arrow of awareness can go in both directions.
