What is Osho's perspective on the words of Sigmund Freud?

Knowledge is a tool for awakening, not a doctrine to cling to; use it to shatter your attachments, not to build your identity.

— Osho
According to Osho, Freud’s words are irrelevant as doctrine; he cites or even misquotes Freud not to inform but to transform. He rejects scholarly fidelity and uses any name, theory, or quote as a hammer to shatter attachment to knowledge, words, and identities like 'Freudian.' The end is awakening, not accuracy; means are valid if they catalyze consciousness.

Don’t cling to what Freud said—Osho uses such quotes only to wake you up, not to teach psychology.
