definition
"When you are at home in silence, sound becomes a ripple in the vast lake of your being, an obedient instrument to reflect the moonlight of the mystic."
According to Osho, yes: when one abides in silence, sound, music, and words become obedient instruments. Sound is only a ripple in the vast lake of silence; the master of silence can let ripples arise without losing the depth, using them to reflect and transmit the moonlight of the mystic—poetry, music, speech—as authentic expressions of inner stillness.
If you’re truly quiet inside, you can use sounds, music, and words powerfully without being disturbed—they simply express your silence.
