According to Osho, mystics speak in a special way because they must hint at a reality your ordinary language can’t contain. They bend words—or drop them—to reach different capacities: Sufis use multilayered parables, Mahavira uses silence for exactness, Zen uses koans to break the mind’s logic. Their ‘language’ is a skillful means to invite understanding that deepens as your consciousness matures.
They talk in stories, silence, or puzzles so we can feel what words alone can’t say, each in our own time.
