outcome
"Harm begins the moment you identify with information; remain the witness-knower and let the ache of “I don’t know” deepen your practice."
According to Osho, information is harmless when you stay the witness‑knower; harm begins the moment you identify with it and say, “I know.” Keep the honest distance of “I don’t know”—let its ache deepen practice—while unlearning and dropping accumulated concepts. Religion’s way is subtraction, not accumulation; by remaining a witness, information cannot bind or bury your inner diamond.
Just watch ideas pass without grabbing them as yours or claiming “I know”; stay with “I don’t know” so your mind stays open and safe.
