No Words for Truth


No Words for Truth

“Sages always repent after speaking, for they feel they could not say what they wanted to say; and they have said what should not have ben said.  For what they tried to convey the listener could not follow, and what he understood had no meaning.”

“And even if you speak, the regret becomes greater, for by the time your words reach the listener their meaning becomes quite different.  Everything that you said gets completely changed – you gave a diamond; it became a stone.” – Osho “The True Name” pg. 139

Sages are bound to be misunderstood.  The truth is shared through silence.  Truth is felt through the heart and cannot be adequately expressed with words.

  1. You got that right Sifu. I try to keep the truth to myself or express it to the ones that I deem ready.
