According to Osho, silence is the inexhaustible power and true language of truth, but most cannot yet hear it; therefore speech is a compassionate device. The enlightened use words as provisional, tailored pointers to the wordless, never losing power by speaking. Ultimate statements are withheld or adapted to the listener’s stage, so that words become bridges to silence rather than dogmas that mislead or paralyze.
Silence is the real message; words are just helpful signs until you can hear that silence for yourself.
