According to Osho, training and sharpening the intellect is not useless—it is essential as a powerful rock you must climb. Intellect can obstruct if worshiped, yet becomes a ladder when used and then transcended through meditation. Educate deeply, develop clarity and discrimination, then go beyond mind into awareness; avoid both ignorance and pedantic bondage, turning intellect from hurdle into stepping-stone to wisdom.
First make your mind sharp, then don’t cling to it—use it as a step to rise into silent awareness.
