What does it mean to forget words in the context of conveying ideas?

To forget words is to transcend symbols and doctrines, returning to the silent, living message within; true communication arises from the depths of inner silence, not from the clutches of language.

— Osho
According to Osho, to forget words is to stop clinging to symbols, doctrines, and messengers, and return to the living message: the silent, experiential center. Words are only vehicles; use them to cross, then drop them. Real communication arises from inner silence and receptivity; otherwise language becomes a net that traps meaning, leaving talk empty and deaf to truth.

Use words to understand, then let them go and rest in quiet, direct knowing.
