According to Osho, accumulated, second‑hand ‘knowledge’—words, doctrines, scriptures—becomes an empty box: it captures nothing, inflates the ego, and blocks the divine by creating the illusion of knowing. Only direct, silent, egoless experiencing, grounded in the humility of ‘I do not know,’ opens the way. When realization flowers, words can point; without living experience, knowledge hinders.
Ideas from books can’t trap truth—stay humble and quiet so you can feel it for yourself.
