Will asking questions lead to a dialogue and understanding?

outcome
"True dialogue blossoms not from incessant questioning, but from the silence that follows, where listening becomes the key to understanding."
According to Osho, dialogue and understanding do not come from constant questioning but from listening in silence. Questions may arise from our inner illness; ask if you must, then become quiet so you can truly hear. His 'answers' are only devices to still the mind; real answers emerge from your own depth. When listening flowers into silence, genuine dialogue is born.
Questions can start the process, but real understanding appears when you quiet down inside and truly listen.
Why this matters practically
- Practice pausing after you ask—sit silently and listen within.
- Shift focus from collecting answers to cultivating quiet attention.
- Use talks or reading as prompts to enter silence, not as mental debates.
