What should I do when faced with questions about my Master—keep silent or respond?

"Respond from awareness; let your heart guide you, for true communication arises from the depth of presence, not from fixed rules."
According to Osho, don’t follow a fixed rule: respond from awareness. Look into the asker’s eyes and sense their state—stay silent for idle curiosity, speak for sincere inquiry, and, for a true seeker longing for liberation, share your whole heart. Let alertness, not doctrine, guide you; the sole discipline is to do nothing unconsciously.
Use your awareness to decide: be quiet for nosy questions, talk to sincere ones, and open up completely to a true seeker.
