Ask Osho!

Is it enough to attend discourses without understanding the words?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"True communion with a master transcends words; it is in the silence and presence that the heart truly connects and transforms."

According to Osho, true communion with a master happens in silence and presence, not through understanding words. Language engages the mind, which substitutes for the authentic heart-to-heart connection and protects old conditionings. Forget language; unlearn. Let the silent gaps between words work on you - the real transmission penetrates the heart and transforms, making mere presence not just enough but the most direct path.
Just sit with the master and feel; your heart learns more from the silence than from words.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces mental noise and breaks old conditioning
- Encourages meditative presence over analysis
- Opens the heart for faster, deeper transformation
