Osho about knowledge

"... Burn the scriptures, get rid of them, so that you will get rid of the mind. Freeing up the scriptures if you release the thoughts. You'll achieve a kind of innocence, the innocence of not knowing. And from that point you can begin to know. First you have to be ignorant.

 

Remember that you do not have to be a knowledgeable person, but a person who wants to know. Between the two there is one big difference: What is knowledge believes he knows who has arrived. And who wants to know who know do not know, and still learning.

 

If you do not convert to an educated person, then you know. There are a marvel after another to be discovered. The reality is endless. You never reach a point where we can say: Now I know everything. The more you know, the more you realize that there is still much more to discover.

"The greater is their perception, the greater mystery of life."

 

In a final stage of knowledge, all knowledge disappears. The mystery surrounds you. You're surrounded by something whose very nature is unknowable. And you know it can not be separated from him, but be one with it, forming part of it.

 

What in the holy scriptures? Words and more words. Do not be satisfied. You need God to live, not the word "God. " Only then will you meet ... "
