How is the knowledge of it reported?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The ultimate cannot be reported; it exists beyond knowledge, where silence speaks louder than words."
According to Osho, the ultimate cannot be reported directly: reporting ceases beyond the sixth body. From the sixth, one can only offer negative news - 'I was up to here; beyond, no knower, no knowledge' - the neti-neti of the Upanishads. Like sleep, it is known only by absence upon return; the seventh plane demands silence, not description.
You cannot describe the final truth; like sleep, you only know it afterward by noticing what was not there, so the wisest report is silence or saying 'not this, not that'.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages direct experience and meditation over conceptual talk.
- Cultivates humility, avoiding rigid beliefs about the ineffable.
- Uses negation to reduce confusion and fruitless debate.
