Ask Osho!

What is the way to express truth if it cannot be expressed in words or written in scriptures?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Truth cannot be told; it can only be known and lived, for the deepest expression of truth is the silent presence of your being."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, truth cannot be told—only known and, deeper still, become. Its only “expression” is silent presence: living it so your very being communicates. Words and scriptures are merely fingers pointing to the moon—use them only to indicate, to inspire a solitary inner journey, never as substitutes. Hence masters sometimes speak solely to deny transmissibility and to nudge seekers beyond talk into direct, personal realization.
You don’t say truth—you live it; silence and your own experience show it, and words only point the way.
Why this matters practically
- Use scriptures as signposts, not destinations.
- Prioritize meditation and direct seeing over debate.
- Communicate through presence, love, and silence when words fail.
