Osho on Why do you oppose scriptural knowledge?

Why do you oppose scriptural knowledge?

Scriptural knowledge is borrowed memory; true understanding arises only through your own direct experience, not from the words of others.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Don’t rely on books or anyone’s words—even Osho’s—because only your own lived experience can show you what’s true.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from quoting to practicing awareness, meditation, and inquiry.
- Test teachings in your life; keep what you directly taste as true and drop borrowed beliefs.
- Rely less on gurus and scriptures; cultivate inner authority and responsibility.
