Are you against the English language?

Words are merely tools for communication, but silence is the language of the divine; choose wisely based on your true aim.

— Osho
According to Osho, he is not against the English language; he supports it as India’s essential bridge to the world, future, and science—ideally learned alongside Hindi and a regional tongue. Yet for a seeker, especially in later life, words are secondary: choose silence to relate to the divine. Languages serve society; silence serves inner realization. Choose based on your true aim.

He values English for worldly connection, but if you’re seeking God—especially when older—drop new words and rest in silence.
