Ask Osho!

Should I learn English to live in the ashram?

Synthesized from Source practice

"What unites us is feeling, not language; gestures and love suffice, for the communication of the heart transcends all barriers."

According to Osho, you don’t need to learn English to live in the ashram. This is a worldfamily where many speak different tongues, and what unites us is feeling, not language. Gestures and love suffice; essentials always find a way. Drop the native–foreign divide and simply come. Communication of the heart prevents quarrels—often better than words.
No, you don’t need English—just come with an open heart and people will understand.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces worry and delays; you can come as you are.
- Encourages heart-based connection beyond words.
- Helps dissolve “us vs. them,” making daily interactions smoother.
