According to Osho, training the intellect isn’t futile; it’s necessary—an obstacle that becomes a step when transcended. Educate and refine reason until it’s razor-sharp, then stand atop it rather than be crushed by it. Intellect is a tool; wisdom is going beyond the tool. Avoidance breeds ignorance; mastery-and-transcendence births the Buddha.
Grow your thinking strong, then use it like a ladder to climb beyond thinking into real knowing.
