Is misunderstanding natural to the human mind?

Misunderstanding is the essence of the mind; true understanding emerges only in the silence of no-mind, where reality is reflected without the distortions of labels and beliefs.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Your mind is full of secondhand ideas that twist what you see; when you become quiet and drop labels, you see things as they are.
