Is it necessary to trace problems back to their roots to solve them?

definition
"Not all problems have roots; many are mere surface irritations. Seek understanding first, for the journey of observation often dissolves what seems to be a problem."
According to Osho, solutions arise naturally when you observe a problem to its actual root; the very journey dissolves it. Yet most problems—perhaps nine out of ten—are rootless, mere surface irritations. First discern whether a real root exists; otherwise, chasing roots or quick fixes only entangles you. Seek understanding before solutions, and act simply when a problem is superficial.
First check if a problem is deep and real; if it is, look straight at its cause, and if it’s not, don’t overthink—just fix it simply.
Why this matters practically
- Saves energy by separating deep issues from trivial ones
- Trains clear observation that often brings its own solution
- Avoids overanalysis and chasing imaginary causes or quick fixes
