Is the silence found in your presence borrowed, and will it disappear when I leave?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"The silence you experience is not borrowed; it is your own, cultivated amidst the chaos, and it will accompany you wherever you go."
According to Osho, the silence you feel here is not borrowed from his presence; it is your own, ripening amidst a deliberately marketplace-like ashram. He avoids Himalayan seclusion so meditation matures without escape. By exposing you to everyday disturbances here, your peace becomes independent and portable, so when you leave, it remains with you anywhere you go.
It’s your own inner quiet, trained to stay even when life is noisy, so it won’t disappear when you leave.
Why this matters practically
- Builds a silence that works in real-life chaos, not just retreats.
- Reduces fear of losing peace when circumstances change.
- Encourages engagement with the world instead of escapism.
