Core Insight:
According to Osho, the fear of intelligence arises because society splits intelligence from innocence, equating 'intelligent' with crafty egoistic cleverness. True intelligence is childlike innocence and wonder; only when intelligence turns against innocence does it degenerate into mere intellect or cunning. Keep intelligence wedded to innocence—openness, receptivity, and awe—then there is nothing to fear; this union leads toward self-realization.
