According to Osho, the ‘intellect burning to ashes’ is not an act you perform; it’s the natural disappearance of thought when greed and goal-seeking subside. Intellect is the machinery of desire; in pure, greedy-less listening and silent awareness, a spontaneous clarity arises and thinking is absent. You taste the emptiness of intellect—nothing remains to destroy, only stillness, presence, and direct knowing.
When you stop wanting anything and just listen quietly, your busy thinking goes away by itself.
