Does the color of company inevitably rub off, or is it only a matter of chance?

According to Osho, the color of company is neither an inevitable compulsion nor a random accident; it works by law, like fire: it burns only if you put your hand in. Satsang dyes you only when you come close, open, and receptive—without masks, roles, or labels. Keep your doors shut and nothing happens; offer your whole being, and the false burns while the gold is refined.
