What is the meaning of growth and spirituality in Tao?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Growth is not a goal but a natural byproduct of being fully present; when you embrace the here and now, life unfolds effortlessly like a river flowing to the sea."

According to Osho, in Tao growth isn’t a goal but a byproduct of being totally present; when you live this moment wholly, the next unfolds naturally, like a river finding the sea. ‘Spirituality’ is irrelevant in Tao because it divides life; Tao embraces the undivided whole—bodysoul, mattermind—so real growth is simply being utterly here-now.
Stop chasing improvement and stop splitting life into spiritual and material—just be fully here, and growth happens by itself.
Why this matters practically

- Heals inner conflict by uniting body, mind, and world as one experience.
- Lets clarity, skill, and compassion develop naturally without forcing or future-obsessing.
