What should we rely on if we do not accept the scriptures or words?

Rely on your own inner awareness; pause in your honest ignorance and allow your authentic knowing to blossom from within.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, when you refuse scriptures or secondhand words, rely on your own inner awareness: pause, stay with your honest ignorance, and wait until insight arises from within, from the very source of life. Borrowed ideas only mask ignorance; only self-born understanding can dissolve it. Tell all outer knowledge to wait so your authentic knowing can blossom.
Listen inside and be patient with not-knowing until your own clear understanding shows up, instead of taking others’ answers.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces confusion from information overload.
- Cultivates patience, silence, and honest self-inquiry.
- Produces durable, firsthand insight rather than borrowed beliefs.
