What happens when there is too much acquaintance with the world?

Familiarity with the world breeds boredom, while contact with the beyond opens endless doors to the inexhaustible.

— Osho
According to Osho, as familiarity with the worldly increases, boredom inevitably arises—the mind’s curiosity dries up, nothing remains to be sought, and its restless search collapses. This is the law of the world. Only contact with the beyond—the Buddha, meditation, satsang, the infinite—remains ever-fresh and inexhaustible, where closeness opens endless doors and boredom never appears.

When you know ordinary things too well, you get bored; only the limitless (meditation, a living Buddha, the divine) keeps feeling new forever.
