What is the relationship between spiritualism and materialism in society?

Spiritualism and materialism are not opposites but two wings of the same bird; true transformation arises when we embrace both with alert awareness, transcending the limitations of sleepy conformity.

— Osho
According to Osho, spiritualism and materialism are complementary dimensions of the same human reality. Societies that pursue only one side—like the East’s inner focus or the West’s outer systems—fail collectively; rare individuals succeed only after both sides are fulfilled. True transformation demands total acceptance of inner and outer, united by alert awareness (meditation), not sleepy conformity.

Spiritual and material life are two sides of one coin—you need to care for both, while staying awake inside.
