According to Osho, real wisdom cannot be harvested from words alone; without a living Master you only hear what fits your beliefs and miss the wine. True knowing is a silent, eye-to-eye transmission in presence—the tavern where arguments fall away. Start with words if needed, but come closer, drink the presence, and let silence teach.
Books give ideas, but a wise teacher’s living presence lets you feel the truth in silence—without that, you mostly hear your own thoughts.
