What is the relationship between truth and words?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Words are mere thorns to remove other thorns; when the mind becomes silent, the truth within reveals itself."
According to Osho, truth and words are incompatible: no one’s words can deliver truth—they’re thorns used only to remove other thorns of belief, then discarded. Scriptures are empty boxes; they carry compassion, not the oceanic morning itself. When clinging to words falls and the mind becomes silent and inward-turned, truth—already within—reveals itself. Seek the shore, not the box.
