outcome
"True listening is not about hearing something outside; it is about dropping the inner noise and awakening to the silence within, where existence speaks without words."
According to Osho, there is ultimately nothing to ‘hear’ as an object; true listening ripens into inner silence. By going deeper within, dropping all inner noise, you reach your center and awaken—here and now—a buddha. In this silence, existence ‘speaks’ without words; remembering this awareness is the only virtue, and it alone brings real transformation.
Don’t look for special messages—quiet your mind, and in that deep silence you naturally wake up inside.
