According to Osho, words borrowed from scriptures are dead—authoritarian, second-hand quotations—while words born of one’s own experience are alive and carry intrinsic authority. Such speech may defy agreement, yet it ‘rings a bell’ in the heart, which knows deeper than the mind. Therefore, discern truth by its felt resonance and transformative presence, not by logical citation; authentic presence overwhelms ego and catalyzes inner revolution.
Truthful words come from lived experience and are felt in the heart; copied words sound correct but feel empty.
