According to Osho, a master remains silent because true help depends on the disciple’s readiness, not on repeated questioning. Out-of-season answers harm: they’re misunderstood, memorized, and misused. Silence protects truth, ripens thirst, and sometimes is itself the answer when words cannot carry it. When the disciple matures, the master speaks—or transmits—naturally, even unasked.
The teacher stays quiet until you’re ready to really hear, because answers given too soon confuse or harm—and sometimes silence says it best.
