The society wants you to be stupid, not intelligent. Intelligence is dangerous. Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own, you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures; you will believe only in your own experience.
Please don't believe in what I say.
Experiment, meditate, experience -- unless it becomes your own understanding, nothing is going to help.
-Osho, "The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol 1, #6, Q3"
