definition
"The songs of saints and the words of enlightened masters do not come from an experience of bliss; they arise from the very essence of bliss itself, which is our true nature."
According to Osho, the songs of saints and the words of enlightened ones arise not from an 'experience of bliss' but from bliss itself. Bliss is not an object witnessed; it is our very nature—sat-chit-ananda. When the knower dissolves, only bliss remains, and expression flows spontaneously—whether as silence, song, dance, or stillness—different peripheries, one essence.
Their songs and words come from being pure bliss itself, not from having a blissful feeling—and that being naturally shows up as silence, singing, dancing, or quiet presence.
