Ask Osho!

Why do spiritual saints speak a very difficult language?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Genuine insight needs no fog—real wisdom speaks simply; don’t be impressed by jargon, but trust clarity and your own understanding."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, so‑called saints use difficult, archaic language to hide their ignorance. Because many equate the incomprehensible with profundity, obscurity becomes a convenient camouflage and a mutual conspiracy: they conceal not-knowing behind big words; listeners conceal not-understanding with nods. Genuine insight needs no fog—real wisdom speaks simply. Don’t be impressed by jargon; trust clarity, directness, and your own understanding.
They use big, confusing words to cover up not knowing, and people pretend to understand.
Why this matters practically
- Evaluate teachers by clarity, not complexity.
- Ask questions and admit confusion instead of faking agreement.
- Prefer simple, lived truth over showy quotes and jargon.
