"Drop clinging to scriptures and turn to meditation; wisdom is freedom, while scholarship is bondage. Seek the source within, and let your own seeing breathe life into the words."
According to Osho, drop clinging to scriptures and turn to meditation and firsthand awareness. Books are dead until your own seeing pours meaning into them; scholarship is bondage, wisdom is freedom. Seek the source within—let samadhi ripen—then scriptures become alive confirmations, not crutches. Gain knowing first; understanding of any scripture will naturally flow from your inner experience.
Put the books down, sit quietly, and discover truth inside you first—then the books will simply echo what you already know.
