Are doctrines and scriptures supportive in the search for the Divine?

definition
"Drop the weight of doctrines and scriptures; only in the freshness of the present moment can the Divine reveal itself."
According to Osho, doctrines, scriptures, and accumulated knowledge do not support the search for the Divine; they obstruct it. What you 'know' stands between you and living reality, eclipsing direct communion. Truth is encountered freshly, here-now, without yesterday’s images. Drop secondhand concepts and meet each moment, person, and flower with naked awareness—only then does the Divine reveal itself.
