Can psychoanalysis solve man's problems, and is religion really needed?

Psychoanalysis can only scratch the surface of the mind; true healing arises when we awaken to the spiritual essence within us through authentic insight and meditation.

— Osho
According to Osho, psychoanalysisFreud, Adler, Jung, even Assagioli’s psychosynthesis—is helpful yet superficial, touching only parts of the mind. Man’s fundamental problem is spiritual/existential, not merely psychological; hence analysis cannot resolve it. Only awakening eyes—through authentic religious insight and meditation—addresses the whole, restoring the living soul beyond dissected or stitched-together fragments.

Therapy can tidy the mind, but only deep spiritual awakening brings real, lasting peace.
