According to Osho, spiritual growth means awakening awareness at the level of the soul—the higher, total dimension that contains mind and body—so the lower problems dissolve from the roots. Psychological growth works within the mind’s multiplicity, pruning symptoms, repressing drives, and rearranging masks; it cannot transform, nor reach the essential. Work on the higher and the lower follows; work on the lower never yields the higher.
Spiritual growth treats the root with awareness, while psychological growth just trims the mind’s leaves, so problems keep returning.
