How can we make the asuric element of our lives visible to us?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Seek the living presence of a wise person, for their light will illuminate the shadows within you, revealing the asuric elements that hide in darkness."
According to Osho, the asuric (demonic) in us becomes visible through two steps: seek satsang—the living presence of a wise person—so their contrasting consciousness mirrors your darkness; and test the sages’ teachings in your own life. Scriptures and debate are insufficient; proximity transmits clarity, and experiment gives taste. Against a sane presence and through practice, your unseeing patterns expose themselves.
Hang out with someone really wise and actually try what they suggest; the difference will show you what in you is off.
