According to Osho, scriptures offer no real spiritual benefit; at best they make you a pundit loaded with borrowed, stale doctrines. Truth cannot be obtained from books, only from one’s own direct experience. Relying on scriptures breeds imitation and inner crippling - like counting others’ cows instead of milking your own. Genuine nourishment arises when a ray of Buddhahood blooms within you.
Reading holy books is like counting other people’s cows; you need your own cow to get milk.
