definition
"Silence is not just the absence of sound; it is the essence of existence, the eternal undercurrent that flows through every beginning and end."
According to Osho, yes—silence is the beginning, the middle, and the end; it is the very soul of existence. Words and sounds depend on a hearer, but silence precedes, pervades, and consummates all. He uses laughter, gibberish, and meditation to clear the mind so you can taste this eternal, deathless stillness and let it flow as an undercurrent through every action.
Silence is the quiet behind everything—before, during, and after—and you can feel it inside when you stop and listen.
