According to Osho, scriptures like the Gita are maps, not water: they are meant for sincere, intelligent seekers whose intense thirst uses them as milestones pointing to the living master and direct experience. For the half‑hearted or merely bookish, they become a dangerous trap; for the truly thirsty, their only value is to propel the quest beyond words toward a present, living Krishna.
Holy books are road signs for real seekers—they point you to a living teacher and your own experience, but they aren’t the drink that ends thirst.
