Why is a cat not willing to give a discourse every morning like a Buddha?

outcome
"A cat does not refuse to teach; it communicates only with those who resonate with its being, for true understanding arises from total, transformative receptivity."
According to Osho, a cat doesn’t refuse to teach—communication happens only when the listener matches the speaker’s being. Cats speak to mice; become a mouse and you’ll hear them. Trees speak to trees, birds to birds; only a buddha hears a Buddha. Mere listening is tape-recorder superficiality; only total, transformative receptivity yields understanding.
You’ll hear what the cat or Buddha says only when you’re tuned like them on the inside—truly open, not just hearing words.
Why this matters practically
- Practice deep, undistracted listening that lets words touch your core.
- Cultivate empathy and align with the speaker’s state to truly understand.
- Seek inner transformation, not mere information, from teachings.
