Ask Osho!

Why don't I understand?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"True understanding begins with real listening; silence your mind's noise and open your heart to hear the truth that transforms."

According to Osho, you don’t understand because true understanding is the second step; the first is real listening. Your mind’s noise—prejudices, conclusions, borrowed knowledge—filters and distorts what’s said, so the message never arrives. Drop inner chatter, open a vulnerable, childlike heart, and enter communion; then truth, once truly heard, is effortlessly understood and naturally transforms life.
Quiet your busy mind and listen with an open, childlike heart, and understanding will come by itself.
