What is superstition?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Superstition is the loud certainty that masks our inner uncertainty; only love can unveil the truth that belief obscures."
According to Osho, superstition is blind belief and loud certainty that cover inner uncertainty—assertions like 'absolute faith' pasted over doubt. Truth does not arise from belief but from love; where love is absent, untruth thrives. Therefore, drop borrowed convictions; let love uncover honesty, and certainty will flower from direct, heartfelt seeing.
Superstition means pretending you’re sure by just believing, instead of loving and honestly seeing for yourself.
Why this matters practically
- Notice when you overstate certainty; look for the doubt beneath.
- Cultivate love and honesty in relationships; truthfulness emerges naturally.
- Trade secondhand beliefs for direct, personal seeing.
