Knowledge Quote by Osho
““Throw all knowledge, because knowledge is needed only when you have to do something. When you don’t have to do anything, what knowledge is needed? You don’t need any knowledge. You need just to have a feel, a knack – how to drop, how not to be. And when I say 'how' I don’t mean technically, when I say 'how' I don’t mean that you have to know a technique. You have simply to search for it.””
