According to Osho, memorizing the Gita only loads the throat, not the heart; it makes you a parrot who imposes personal desires onto Krishna’s words. When the text isn’t awakened within, you extract whatever you want—power, ideology, politics. Thus a rote knower reads politics into scripture, whereas a heart-seated Gita silences ambition and speaks from inner truth.
If you only memorize holy words, you use them to chase what you already want—like politics—instead of letting them change your heart.
