Should we conceal truth or reveal it?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Reveal your truth and pain with awareness, for expression purifies the soul while suppression breeds illness. Live like a lotus, untouched by water, and watch suffering subside."
According to Osho, reveal it. Express your truth and pain, but pair expression with awareness and meditation. Let tears flow while silently watching their root—attachment. Do not judge sorrow; learn from it. Suppression is ego and breeds illness; expression purifies. Live in the world yet unattached, like a lotus untouched by water—then suffering subsides.
Don't hide what you feel; cry or speak it, and quietly watch inside to see the clinging behind it, so you heal and stop repeating the pain.
