What is the purpose of pushing in spiritual growth?

Spiritual growth flourishes not through pushing, but by relaxing into awareness and allowing the energy of transformation to unfold naturally.

— Osho
According to Osho, pushing has no place in spiritual growth; it is interference by the ego. Growth unfolds when you stop meddling—relax, witness, and allow the energy to move on its own. The inner process is not your 'business'; control only tightens knots. Drop efforting, cultivate awareness and trust, and transformation happens spontaneously.

Don’t force yourself to be spiritual; sit quietly, watch, and let change happen by itself.
