outcome
"Truth must become your lived abode, not an occasional visitation; until awareness flowers in you, all insights remain secondhand."
According to Osho, learning reality through others' words yields, at most, borrowed glimpses: a poet's lightning flashes inspire but remain mysterious, while a mystic's utterance (objective art) is a deliberate device to awaken you. Yet until awareness flowers in you, it is secondhand; truth must become your lived abode, not an occasional visitation.
Why this matters practically
- Don't mistake inspiration for realization; seek firsthand experience.
- Prefer conscious teachings (mystics/objective art) that catalyze insight.
- Turn teachings into meditation so glimpses become abiding clarity.
