“Always you will find that within you the shadow and the light go together… It is up to you to know how to utilize the one to realize the other.” -Sri Aurobindo Each of us is called to change, mature, and take responsibility for our conscious evolution. A central task in psychological development is recognition and integration of the shadow. And this is where the concepts and the jargon begin to obscure understanding, right? The Persian tale of Abu Kasem's Slipper's is a humorous story that can shed some light on Aurobindo's teaching and the problem of the psychological shadow. I hope you find value in the story.
