According to Osho, answer only when something true arises from your direct seeing; speak it plainly. Never answer just to answer—pretending to know breeds falsehood, distrust, and suffering, especially in children. Admit “I don’t know” when you don’t. Humble honesty opens the way to truth; the pundit who claims certainty cannot arrive. The first law of truth: what is unknown is unknown.
Say what you truly know, and if you don’t know, say so—that honesty leads to real understanding.
