Meditation is about watchfulness

Osho said here that during meditation, don't ask verbally "who am I?"

It must be a vague (unclear, hazy) idea, like a thirst. The question should have no words. This way, the mind will not answer.

Let the question be a feeling that settles inside you. Without words you are entering an innocent space. The deeper you go, the more blissful the silence is. Not knowing oneself makes life meaningless.

You can watch breath and thoughts moving inside with watchfulness (awareness). Don't get lost into what you are watching. But be watchful. Slowly, the watcher becomes more and more solid, stable and unwavering. A transformation happens. The things you were watching disappear. The watcher, itself, becomes the watched. You have come home!
