What is the source of sweetness in the speech of saints?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The sweetness in a saint's speech flows from the Divine, as they become a hollow bamboo, allowing God's breath to create a melody that nourishes the soul."
According to Osho, the sweetness (rasa) in a saint’s speech comes solely from the Divine—the only source of rasa. A true saint has vanished as a ‘me’ and becomes a hollow bamboo, a flute through which God breathes. Because their words are not personal but God’s flow, nectar pours, flowers of feeling bloom, and seekers taste reassurance from that living presence.
Why this matters practically
- Practice ego-shedding and surrender so your speech carries more truth, love, and healing.
- Seek the company of realized beings (satsang) to drink that reassurance and awaken your own thirst.
- Treat yourself as an instrument; cultivate silence so the Divine can flow through daily actions and words.
