Can silence be heard and understood?

definition
"Silence is the language of the soul; in its depths, you discover your true essence and the freedom to be authentically alive."
According to Osho, only silence can truly be heard and understood; words touch only the intellect, but silence is received existentially by your innermost being. Entering inner wordlessness awakens real intelligence, individuality, and a direct communion with existence. In that clarity you sense your deathless essence, become fearless, and choose freedom and truth over social conditioning and obedience.
Yes—when you become really quiet inside, you listen with your whole being, not just your ears, and you discover your true, fearless self.
