"My hands are empty, yet they hold the power to dissolve questions, for true understanding transcends words and engages the heart."
According to Osho, he glances at his hand not to find answers but to ready the subtle, nonverbal energy through which he 'destroys' questions. He says his hands are empty and do most of the real work, while words merely engage the mind. Looking is a check-in, 'Are you ready?', affirming that his hands are prepared to act.
He checks his hands because they silently do the real work of dissolving your questions, while his words just keep you listening.
