According to Osho, poetry can be the voice of wonder—or merely human craft—depending on the poet. When a rishi speaks, poetry flows effortlessly as the very song of the source, a descendance from beyond. The ordinary poet only recalls momentary glimpses and labors to express them; such poetry, however beautiful, bears human limits and can distract from, rather than deliver, the living encounter with the source.
If a sage writes, it’s the source speaking; if a regular poet writes, it’s just their memory of a brief peek.
