Ask Osho!

What is the significance of communication?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Communication is not about conveying information, but about guiding you beyond words to the silence of being; true understanding arises when the talk ceases and presence is felt."

According to Osho, communication’s highest significance is not in conveying information but in pointing beyond words to silence and being. Masters speak only to prepare the listener for wordless communion; real understanding happens when talk stops and presence is heard. Words are skillful means - temporary bridges - until the 'soundless sound' within awakens.
Words are just signs to help you find a quiet place inside; the real message arrives in silence.
Why this matters practically
- Listen past words to the felt presence and silence beneath conversations.
- Practice silence/meditation so insight arises instead of mere opinions.
- Use speech as pointers, not final truths—speak less, mean more.
