According to Osho, words alone can never prove realization—they offer only an insufficient hint. Borrowed talk smells of scripture, hesitates, and carries mistakes from inner confusion. A knower’s words arise fresh, with immediacy, courage, and a force born of experience—able to speak boldly without egoic self-consciousness. The discerning can sense this spontaneous authority, yet final certainty lies beyond words.
You can’t be sure from words; real knowing sounds fresh, strong, and fearless—but words are only hints.
