Is the cessation of internal talking enlightenment?

outcome
"Enlightenment is not the absence of thought, but the recognition of your innate nature when distractions cease; in silence, you simply are."
According to Osho, the stopping of inner talk is not something to label as enlightenment; if you can still ask, the mind is back. Enlightenment is not an experience or a goal but your innate nature recognized when distraction ends. In silence you do not declare it; you simply are, resting in your source. Be still, wake up, remember.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents chasing enlightenment as an idea, easing anxiety and striving.
- Encourages present-moment stillness over overthinking.
- Helps you relax into natural clarity in daily choices and relationships.
