What should I do about spiritual materialism?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Spiritual materialism is just greed in disguise; true contentment arises from total presence in the moment, free from the ego's endless chase."
According to Osho, spiritual materialism is the same old greed wearing holy clothes: the mind craving 'more'—psychic powers, miracles, recognition. Drop the chase. Health is contentment in this moment. The real miracle is total presence—when hungry, eat; when sleepy, sleep—without ego, comparison, or distraction. Don’t change objects; dissolve hankering through awareness, simplicity, and being exactly where you are.
Don’t try to collect special spiritual tricks—just be fully here now, enjoying eating when you eat and sleeping when you sleep.

- Ends endless chasing and anxiety by shifting from “more” to enough-now.
