SynopsisA simple yet powerful technique is presented. It involves remembering 'I am' constantly while performing daily tasks. This self-remembering is a potent practice. Even for a minute, continuous remembrance is challenging. Achieving this for one minute signifies the technique's suitability. The method encourages a constant awareness of one's existence. This practice offers a path to deeper self-awareness.Remember 'I am' -whatsoever you are doing. You are drinking water, you are eating your food -remember, 'I am.' Go on eating and go on remembering, 'I am, I am.' It is difficult because you already think that you know you are, so what is the need to go on remembering this? You never remember it, but it is a very, very potential technique.When walking remember, 'I am.' Let the walking be there, go on walking, but be constantly fixed in this self-remembering of 'I am, I am, I am.' Do not forget this. You are listening to me -just do it here. You are listening to me. Do not be so much merged, involved, identified. Whatsoever i am saying, remember, go on remembering. Listening is there, words are there, someone is talking, you are - "I am, I am, I am." Let this "I am" be a constant factor of awareness.It is very difficult. You cannot remember continuously even for a single minute. Try it. Put your watch before your eyes and look at the hands moving. One second, two seconds, three seconds... go on looking at it. Do two things: look at the movement of the hand which is showing seconds, and continuously remember 'I am, I am.' With every second go on remembering 'I am.' Within five or six seconds you will feel that you have forgotten. Suddenly you will remember that 'Many seconds have passed and I have not remembered 'I am.'"Even to remember for one complete minute is a miracle. . And if you can remember for one minute, the technique is for you. Then do it.The Book of Secrets/Courtesy Osho Times International.
