According to Osho, the only valid authority is one’s own direct knowing. He speaks from his experience, not borrowed beliefs or scriptures. Even when you cite holy books, it is you who choose to grant them authority; the locus remains within. Therefore, trust awareness, take responsibility for your seeing, and let inner realization—not external approval—be the ground of your words and actions.
Like trusting your own eyes to see, Osho says real authority is your own inner knowing, not someone else’s book or voice.
