What is the function of the fire of knowledge in relation to enduring the sins of infinite births?

outcome
"The fire of knowledge does not erase karma; it ignites a willingness to face suffering, transforming the eternity of reaping into a brief, conscious endurance."
According to Osho, the ‘fire of knowledge’ does not cancel karma but ignites total willingness and awareness, which compresses the long “length” of sin’s consequences into “depth.” When you awaken and accept full responsibility, suffering becomes intense yet brief, the seeds are burned, and the so‑called eternity of reaping ends. Knowledge transforms retribution into conscious endurance, finishing the account instead of postponing it across births.
Like a hot fire, clear awareness makes you bravely face your mistakes now, so the hurt finishes quickly instead of lasting for ages.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you stop seeking escapes and take responsibility.
- Converts drawn‑out suffering into a shorter, conscious process.
- Ends repetitive patterns by burning the seeds of future trouble.
