According to Osho, when ‘knowledge’ (logic, scholarship) is clung to, devotion degrades into pedantry—bhajans and worship become ego-games, not surrender. Only by allowing thought to ripen to its own futility and die can one drop it; then the unconditioned heart opens and authentic devotion flowers. Prematurely abandoning inquiry breeds false theism; completed understanding dissolves itself and makes space for real love and vision.
If you cling to being clever, prayer turns into showing off; let thinking finish and fall away so real love can bloom.
