On 20th March 1981, Osho gives his last English discourse, and on 24th his last Hindi discourse, before going into silence. On 23rd March 1981, Osho gives his last darshan in English; his last words are:

meditation means

becoming detached from the mind

becoming a witness of the mind

looking at the mind as separate from you

that’s what actually it is

you can see thoughts passing by

you can see desires passing by

you can see the whole traffic

that goes on in the mind

the memories, the fantasies, the past, the future

all kinds of things are passing

you can just stand by the side of the road

and you can see the whole traffic–you are not it

you are the watcher, you are the witness

and the witness is beyond

the seer is never the seen

the observer is never the observed

this very experience is transcendence

and once you know that you are not the mind

the fear of death simply disappears

as if it has never been there in the first place

suddenly you are in the world

of the deathless, the eternal

there is no anxiety any more

one is at ease with existence

in a deep let-go

a tremendous relaxation

that relaxation is the ultimate goal of sannyas

to know it is to know all

to miss it is to miss all clapp23
