According to Osho, when you insist on ‘knowing first, then trusting,’ you’re listening to the head’s logic, not the heart. That stance keeps you detached—like a scientist—so you may gather facts but miss the living essence. In love, friendship, or discipleship, real knowing is mystical and requires prior trust; trust melts the wall, turns distance into a bridge, and only then authentic knowing happens.
If you wait to trust until you ‘know,’ you stay outside; trust first and the door to truly knowing opens.
