Why can there be no oral scripture?

Truth is a living experience, not a spoken word; it blossoms in silence, transforming within you rather than being recited or remembered.

— Osho
According to Osho, there can be no oral scripture because truth is living, wordless, and only realized, not recited. The moment it’s spoken it fractures into concepts, memory-errors, and egos’ interpretations. Real transmission is silent presencemaster to disciple—until it flowers within you as your own seeing. Talking about it creates beliefs and gossip, not liberation.

Truth isn’t a story to repeat; it’s something you quietly experience yourself.
