What happens during days of silence?

outcome
"In the depths of silence, I dissolve the identification with the body and awaken to the profound nourishment of stillness, emerging renewed yet unchanged."
According to Osho, in days of silence he withdraws from outer activity, lets the body rest profoundly, and sinks into twenty-hour stretches of meditative sleep. Identification with the body loosens, speech and looking outward feel like a strain, and inner centering deepens. This silent, total rest nourishes him; he re-emerges fresh, radiant, and renewed—though inwardly unchanged.
On silence days, he mostly sleeps in deep meditation, letting the body recover while his inner energy recharges, so he returns bright and refreshed.
