outcome
"In the depths of silence, if a humming arises, listen and enjoy it as the song of existence; do not create it, for true serenity is found in passive trust."
According to Osho, yes—if a humming arises on its own in deep silence, simply listen and enjoy it without anxiety. It is the song of existence, akin to OM, and a sign you’ve reached serenity. Do not repeat or manufacture it; that becomes mind-made noise. Remain utterly passive, relaxed, trusting.
If a gentle sound appears when you’re truly quiet, just listen and enjoy—it’s real; don’t try to make it.
Why this matters practically
- Helps distinguish genuine inner silence from mental projection.
- Cultivates passive awareness and trust, deepening meditation.
- Prevents self-deception from repetitive chanting and reduces anxiety.
