"It is a complex situation. You both are right, but in different senses.
"To really know these qualities as an experience will not strengthen the ego; the ego will be dissolved.
"But to know these..."

"You will become a hypocrite.
"So whenever you see these qualities in a person, don't make him knowledgeable about them but help him to be curious, inquisitive about these qualities. Help him to search for these qualities in himself: perhaps he may have them. But remember the 'perhaps.'
"Don't give them a certainty – everybody wants certainty, some easy guarantee – just give them a desire to explore. Just make them thirsty enough and alert that perhaps the source of water that can quench your thirst is within you; just look there.
"Teach them to meditate so that they can discover these qualities one day. When they know that they have them, then there is no danger of their ego being strengthened; otherwise ego has such subtle ways to be strengthened. It is always looking everywhere to find some food to be nourished on.
"It is of immense importance for every one of you, because slowly, slowly you will become perceptive; you will start seeing things which people are unaware of. They have them, but they don't know that they have them. And as you become perceptive, your responsibility grows. You are not to say to them, 'You have these qualities.'
"At the most you can say to them, 'Perhaps you have them but you have to look, you have to search, you have to seek. And who knows? – I may be wrong.' In no way strengthen their ego knowingly or unknowingly because ego is the greatest bondage, the only hell that I know of.
"But how many people are trying to be conscious? On the contrary, most of the people in the world are trying to be as unconscious as possible, because what little consciousness they know is nothing but anxiety, anguish, worry."

Osho,"Not necessarily. It can be, it may not be; it all depends on the person. There is no law in existence that you always go higher; you can go lower, you can fall below the previous stage. The path of evolution becomes certain only when you are becoming more conscious; then each successive life is on a higher plane.
Is each successive life we live a spiritual advancement on the previous one?
