What is the significance of silence?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Silence is the doorway to your own center, where the single, ever-present answer reveals itself amidst the noise of endless questions. In the stillness of indifference to inquiry, truth becomes audible."
According to Osho, silence is the doorway through which the single, ever-present answer—your own center—becomes audible. Questions proliferate like illnesses, creating noise that drowns truth. By becoming indifferent to questions and watching them pass, a gap opens; in this questionless stillness, the one answer reveals itself. Silence is the price and the path.
When you stop chasing questions and sit quietly, you can hear the simple truth already living inside you.
