What is the significance of the mahāprajña as described by the Buddha?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Mahāprajña is the flowering of inner silence that transcends language, where great wisdom reveals itself as freedom from craving, fear, and possessiveness. In this silence, truth is realized directly, for God’s only language is silence."
According to Osho, the mahāprajña in Buddha’s vision is not scholarship in scriptures, grammar, or nirukta and pada, but the flowering of inner silence that transcends all language. It is great wisdom as freedom from craving, fear, and possessiveness—an egoless zero-point of peace. Truth is realized directly, not by words; God’s only language is silence.
Great wisdom isn’t about knowing words; it’s being so silent inside that fear, wanting, and ego drop, and truth becomes obvious.
