Osho on understanding

[Holymoly]

Curious about leo and the forums thoughts on this since I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Leo state that understanding is his highest priority? 
Is it that if you make understanding reality your highest priority you will dive head first into the mystery?

understanding becomes an obsessive fascination with endless tchotchkes, trinkets, titillation

it keeps you drugged

problem though is, anything is possible here literally

you make this dream yourself however you want to

get over it whenever you are ready

most will prefer to stick around since being god here with all said toys is nice

Quote

If you are still dreaming, it is because you have not really understood that you are dreaming. This is the essence of bondage - the mixing of the real with the unreal. In your present state, only the sense "I am" refers to reality; the "what" and the "how I am" are illusions, imposed by destiny, or accident. ~Nisargadatta

When you’re so woke that the need to understand yourself is unnecessary.

A Woman can explain to a Man what it is like to give Birth to a Baby, but no matter what words or how many she uses, a Man will never understand what it is like to have a baby like she does, so there is intellectual Understanding, which is what this forum is all about and is very very limited, and then there is Subjective personal Experience, which is Miles above the latter...Don't try to Understand Existence or Your place in it, this will just lead you further away, just try to meld with it, accept it, respond to it, then You will understand it much better than ever before:)
