According to Osho, scriptural recitation transforms life only when it is heart-seated and done with utter alertness. Mechanical repetition dulls awareness, feeds memory and ego, and produces parrots, not knowers—no blossoms, no fragrance. True recitation awakens consciousness so the scripture flowers within you, shaping your being rather than merely stocking the mind.
Just memorizing holy words changes nothing; reciting them with full awareness lets them touch your heart and change how you live.
