Principle

Q: What is the first principle?

According to Osho, the first principle cannot be said; the moment it is spoken it becomes the second. It is the unsayable source, known only in silence before thought and doctrine. Rather than being taught, it must be realized directly through awareness and meditation, where all concepts drop and truth reveals itself without interpretation.
