Why is asking questions considered violent yet encouraged?

Questions arise from a restless mind, yet in their expression lies the path to silence, where true self-knowledge is revealed.

— Osho
According to Osho, questioning is 'violent' because it springs from a feverish, aggressive mind-state - an inner delirium swarming with doubts. He still encourages questions as therapeutic catharsis: express them fully so their futility becomes clear. His answers don't solve queries; they expose their uselessness. When questioning exhausts itself, silence dawns and the single real answer - self-knowledge - arises.

Your questions come from inner upset; ask them out loud to empty the noise, then quietness appears and you discover yourself.
