What happens when the edge of intellect and ego is experienced?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"At the edge of intellect and ego, the sharper your intelligence, the more your inner foolishness is revealed; it is here that humility and alertness become your greatest allies."
According to Osho, when you reach the edge of intellect and ego, their opposite surfaces simultaneously: sharper intelligence exposes your inner foolishness, deeper silence heightens disturbance, higher peaks widen ravines. At that brink, the danger of falling grows with the ascent, so humility and unremitting alertness become essential. Guard the inner treasure: progress demands finer caution, not complacency.
When you get very smart or spiritually high, you also see how you can slip, so stay humble and very alert.
