Is each successive life a spiritual advancement on the previous one?

outcome
"Each life is not a guarantee of spiritual advancement; it is your conscious awareness that determines whether you rise or fall. Choose to transform suffering into insight, and your journey will ascend to pure, unbroken awareness."
According to Osho, successive lives are not automatically progressive; you can rise or fall. Evolution becomes assured only when you consciously grow in awareness—then each birth moves to a higher plane. Because society conditions people toward unconsciousness (via drugs, power, distractions), most regress or stall. Choose increasing consciousness, transform suffering into insight, and your trajectory turns upward, culminating in pure, unbroken awareness.
No, lives don’t level up by themselves; you grow higher only by becoming more aware, otherwise you can even go backward.
Why this matters practically
- Puts responsibility on your awareness, not fate, to guide spiritual growth.
- Encourages daily practices (meditation, mindful living) that raise consciousness.
- Warns against numbing habits and power-chasing that stall or reverse growth.
