According to Osho, ignorance is not the absence of information but the absence of awareness—the trance of identification with mind, belief, and ego. It is secondhand knowing, borrowed conclusions, and the sleep of mechanical living. Trying to fix it with more ideas is another mistake; only watchfulness dissolves it. When awareness flowers, ignorance vanishes without struggle.
Ignorance is like being asleep with your eyes open; only quiet, alert watching turns on the inner light.
