Ask Osho!

What is needed to guide us to the ultimate goal if knowledge is considered useless?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The ultimate journey is not guided by knowledge, but by the flowering of love, awareness, and joy; let go of the mind's concepts to reveal the inner truth."

Use facts for everyday needs, but to touch the deepest truth, be open, loving, and quietly aware—like enjoying a flower for its beauty, not its use.
Why this matters practically
- Puts knowledge in its proper place (work, tasks) while nurturing inner growth.
- Shifts focus from concepts to living qualities like love, joy, and beauty.
- Eases mental clutter by valuing significance over mere utility.
