Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance / Osho

It is just as if in a dark night you are running fast because you have become afraid of somebody following you. And that somebody is nothing but your own shadow, and the more you run, the closer to you is the shadow. How fast you run makes no difference; the shadow is there.

You will have to look deeper into the shadow and the shadow disappears because the shadow is not; it is just an absence of light.
