Ask Osho!

Is what intellect suggests to be the truth not true?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Truth is not a product of thought; it is the clarity that arises when the intellect falls silent."

According to Osho, intellect only thinks—it gropes in darkness and cannot deliver truth. Truth is not the product of thought but the direct seeing that dawns when the intellect falls silent and empty. This inner clarity is intuition, an insight like sight returning to a blind man. Thinking and truth belong to different dimensions; analysis can never arrive at realization.
Your thinking mind can’t find truth; when it becomes very quiet, a clear knowing shows up by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Practice silence to let intuition arise
- Rely on direct seeing over endless analysis
- Use intellect for practical tasks, not for ultimate truth
