What is the key to understanding silence?

definition
"True silence blooms only after you have danced fully in the chaos of life; it is the natural reward of expressing your essence."
According to Osho, true silence is understood through its polar opposite: express life fully—gossip playfully, dance, work intensely—then silence descends with depth. Life is dialectical; opposites balance and fertilize each other. Forcing quiet or cutting speech breeds shallow, sad stillness. Enjoy harmless chatter consciously, and when it ends naturally, profound silence flowers.
Enjoy talking and moving fully without harm, and when it naturally stops, real quiet arrives on its own.
