What is meant by 'conscious ignorance'?

Conscious ignorance is the pure, luminous awareness that reflects the present without attachment, honoring life's mystery through clarity and emptiness.

— Osho
According to Osho, 'conscious ignorance' is pure, luminous awareness—innocent yet alert—that knows without accumulating knowledge. Like a mirror, it reflects the present and lets it pass, remaining unattached and uncorrupted. It does not assert 'I know' or even 'I am'; the separate self dissolves, and life’s mystery is honored through clarity without conclusions—knowing consciousness empty of claims, full of light.

It’s being like a clear mirror—wide awake, seeing things as they are now, keeping nothing, and not clinging to ideas or a separate “me.”
