How can we distinguish between faith and superstition?

Faith is a living encounter with truth, while superstition is merely the corpse of inherited rituals; seek the immediacy of your own experience to distinguish the two.

— Osho
According to Osho, faith is a living, firsthand encounter with truth - spontaneous, heartfelt, and luminous - while superstition is its corpse: inherited, blind ritual after the life has gone. Test your devotion: is there immediacy, freshness, inner fragrance? If not, kindly 'cremate' the dead form and seek direct seeing. A faith with eyes is alive; borrowed bowing is superstition.

Faith is when you feel truth alive in your heart now; superstition is copying old rituals without any feeling.
