What practices should be done for the cessation of lust, greed, attachment, and ego?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"To transcend lust, greed, attachment, and ego, focus not on fighting each symptom, but on awakening awareness and embracing catharsis, for true transformation arises from understanding the root of your energy."
According to Osho, lust, greed, attachment and ego are expressions of one inner energy; don’t fight each separately. Identify your chief symptom (sex, anger, greed, fear, ego) and work at the root through two practices: awareness and catharsis. Remove all veils, watch the energy arise in you without blaming triggers, and use conscious release (e.g., safe, private cathartic expression) to unburden repression—allowing transformation rather than suppression.
Pick your strongest issue, watch it honestly as it happens, and safely let the pent-up energy out so it changes by itself.
