What is the use of esoteric teachings and spiritual knowledge?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True spirituality is not knowledge but a direct, wordless knowing; abandon the mind and turn to the only real inquiry—Who am I?"
According to Osho, esoteric teachings are a lure for the foolish mind that worships what it cannot understand; existence hides nothing, and true spirituality is not 'knowledge' but direct, wordless knowing. All spiritual 'systems' are mind-made. Drop the mind, abandon occult curiosities, and turn to the only real inquiry—Who am I?—because self-knowing reveals all and renders borrowed doctrines useless.
Spiritual truth isn’t secret information—it’s your own direct experience when you quiet the mind and ask, “Who am I?”
