What is the nature of scriptural debate?

Scriptural debate is a sterile mind-game, nourishing only the ego; truth is not found in arguments but in the silence of direct experience.

— Osho
According to Osho, scriptural debate is a sterile mind-game: borrowed words fencing with other borrowed words. It nourishes ego and division, not awareness or transformation. Truth cannot be concluded by argument; it must be lived and tasted in silence. Use scriptures as signposts, then drop them and experience directly through meditation.

Arguing about holy books won’t give you truth—quiet down and feel it yourself.
