Do the nada arise automatically through the practice of Om?

outcome
"The authentic nada arises spontaneously from silence, revealing itself in the stillness of true meditation, not through the force of technique or will."
According to Osho, the authentic nada (inner sound) should arise spontaneously, not be produced by chanting Om. When sounds come of their own accord they are precious and true; when evoked through technique they may be mere imagination or autosuggestion. Let meditation create silence and receptivity; then nada reveals itself without effort or willful manufacture.
Real inner sounds should show up by themselves; if you force them with Om, you might just be imagining them.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents self-deception by distinguishing spontaneous insight from imagined experiences.
- Encourages patience and receptivity instead of chase and force.
- Keeps practice grounded: use methods to quieten, not to manufacture results.
