What is truth?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Truth is the unsayable reality that words can only distort; it is always present, waiting for you to see it beyond the beautiful lies we tell."
According to Osho, truth is the unsayable reality that words inevitably distort; whatever can be spoken is a 'beautiful lie.' Truth cannot be expressed yet is never hidden—it's immediately present, within and without, right before your eyes. Esoteric theories are distractions; only silent, direct seeing can satisfy. The closest one can come in speech is to admit it cannot be said.
Truth can’t be put into words; it’s already here inside and around you, known by quiet seeing, not by theories.
