What is the origin of words and their relation to consciousness?

Words are born from the silence of pure consciousness, flowing through the mind as a mere medium, not as the creator.

— Osho
According to Osho, authentic words arise from a source beyond the personal mind—out of the blue from no-mind, silence, or pure consciousness. The mind only serves as a transmitting medium; it is not the originator. When a question appears from mind, the response flows from this impersonal awareness, unowned and unmanaged, speaking through the available instrument.

Words come from a big quiet space and just pass through the mind, like music passing through a radio—the radio isn’t making it.
