Will belief still remain?

"Belief is a crutch for the ignorant; when truth is directly known, belief dissolves into the clarity of understanding."
According to Osho, no—belief does not remain. You believe only in what you do not know; belief is a substitute for ignorance. When truth is directly known, belief becomes unnecessary and falls away. He urges replacing secondhand doctrines with personal, meditative awareness so understanding becomes seeing, not believing.
If you truly see and know something for yourself, you don’t need to ‘believe’ in it anymore.
