"When you lose consciousness during a discourse, you hear the sound but miss the meaning; only through alert, choiceless listening can the message penetrate the dusty veil of your conditioning."
According to Osho, when you 'lose consciousness' in a discourse you’re not comatose but spiritually asleep: thoughts, desires and conditioning form a dusty veil that screens about ninety‑eight percent of what’s said. You hear the sound yet miss the meaning. You exist in an in‑between state; only alert, choiceless listening and meditation remove the dust so the message penetrates.
Your busy mind blocks most of the talk, so you hear it but don’t really get it until you become quietly present.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you practice real listening instead of automatic hearing.
- Encourages meditation to clear thoughts and prejudices.
- Improves understanding and integration of insights in daily life.
