Is Lord Krishna speaking the truth when he says 'I am the absolute truth' in the Gita?

definition
"The truth that Krishna speaks cannot be captured in words; it is a silence that invites you to drop concepts and enter the realm of wordless awareness."
According to Osho, the truth Krishna knew cannot be uttered; the moment it's said, it becomes mere words. Calling him "Lord" and the Gita "scripture" are our projections that breed belief, not knowing. So the claim "I am the absolute truth" is, at best, a pointer - true only as silence behind the words. Real verification demands dropping concepts and entering wordless awareness yourself.
Words about truth aren’t the truth; get very quiet inside and discover it yourself instead of just believing Krishna or any book.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents blind belief and authority-worship.
- Encourages meditation and inner silence for direct knowing.
- Shifts focus from memorizing scriptures to living experience.
