"In the presence of a living master, your mind falls silent, revealing the first taste of true sanity; this silence is not madness, but a profound benediction that deepens your intelligence and unveils your serene essence."
According to Osho, when you come close to a living master your mind naturally falls silent because he embodies no-mind; this silence is not madness but your first taste of real sanity. Though fear may arise from conditioning, it’s a benediction: as you move beyond mind, scattered thoughts cease, intelligence deepens, and a serene, integrated presence appears.
Being near a true teacher makes your busy thoughts stop; that quiet is healthy and lets your real wisdom and calm show up.
