Osho on Will belief still remain?

Will belief still remain?

“

Belief is a crutch for the ignorant; when truth is directly known, belief dissolves into the clarity of understanding.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Core Insight:
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.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages firsthand experience over borrowed opinions.
- Reduces dogma and confusion by grounding life in awareness.
- Empowers honest inquiry and clarity in decisions.
