Ask Osho!

How long will each participant have to speak in a shastrarth?

Synthesized from Source practice

"The essence of dialogue lies not in the minutes spoken, but in the honesty of inquiry and the respect we show to one another. Let the form serve the spirit, for clarity and presence are the true measures of understanding."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the exact speaking time in a shastrarth isn’t rigidly fixed; it should be set by mutual agreement and fairness. He accepts whatever balanced timing the participants propose—'just as you say'—because the essence is honest inquiry, attentiveness, and equal opportunity. The form serves the spirit: clarity, presence, and respectful dialogue matter more than minutes.
There’s no fixed time; decide together on a fair limit for each speaker.
Why this matters practically
- Ensures equal voice and prevents domination.
- Keeps discussion focused on understanding, not winning.
- Lets the format adapt to the topic’s depth and the group’s needs.
