According to Osho, dropping acquired knowledge (in religion) doesn’t mean forgetting facts; it means seeing that secondhand beliefs aren’t your own. With that clarity, their grip dissolves—the imagined chains fall away—and space opens for firsthand, inner knowing. As truth is directly seen, the borrowed ideas fall by themselves, like “two plus two is five” vanishing before “four.”
When you notice that borrowed religious ideas aren’t your own experience, they stop running you, and you can find the truth inside yourself.
