According to Osho, we should avoid intellectualism because it is secondhand, borrowed thinking that substitutes beliefs for living experience. It chases dead, beaten tracks and prevents the awakening of your own intelligence. Truth emerges only through direct seeing, tasting, and walking your path; when intelligence rises from experience it flowers into Buddhahood, not concepts.
Thinking about things you haven’t lived is like reading cookbooks while staying hungry—open your eyes and taste life yourself.
