According to Osho, the 'sadness' that appears in silence is not real sorrow but a withdrawal from habitual busyness—a misunderstanding born of unfamiliarity. At first, the quiet feels like loss; if you patiently let it settle, the same mood ripens into cool, deep peace. Befriend it, and what seemed sadness reveals itself as the very fragrance of silence.
When you first stop being busy, the quiet can feel sad, but if you wait, it turns into peaceful silence.
