The primary need of man is to satisfy the primordial wishes of his "heart", while the secondary one consists of moral justification of the primary one. We shall call these needs psychological, disregarding the fact whether he wants to satisfy them on the physical or on the psychological level. However, psychological needs are not the same as spiritual needs. We shall now define them:

THE AIM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS

Psychological needs have their aim in the change of feelings. They differ from the spiritual needs which have the aim in the change of character (essential motives). As related to their essential difference, psychological and spiritual needs are mutually contrasted regarding their aims:

The man who is moved by a psychological need for certain feelings is burdened man, and so he does not have the power of will to love himself and others. It is more important to him how he feels than if he is doing good or not. So, his aim is to realize certain feelings and not a certain character.

THE ROOT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS

Since psychological and spiritual needs are mutually contrasted regarding their aims, they obviously do not have the same root.

Psychological needs are motivated by man's internal discontent and search; accordingly, they burden one. On the contrary, the spiritual needs are not caused or moved by discontent, but by divine love and unselfish offering.

A psychological needs, i.e. the needs for the change of feelings, are the expression of a man's certain character while the spiritual needs i.e. the needs for the change of that character cannot have the root in that very character.

(Out of the selfish motive a man cannot have the will to get rid of the selfishness itself. Plainly, he does not have love to love himself.)

Differently from psychological needs which have their root in a man's nature (his character), spiritual needs have their root in divine inspiration, which, by reason, gives a man a justification of his need to change his bad character.

Thus, the spiritual needs are inspired by God, while the psychological ones are a characteristic of man's (fallen or sinful) nature, and he has them as a side product of his spiritual discontent. In other words, to be burdened by psychological needs is the only alternative remaining to him if he wishes to be independent of God, if he does not want to satisfy his spiritual needs.

Repressing his spiritual needs that direct him towards God, man becomes burdened by psychological needs by which he represses the consciousness of his spiritual emptiness and thus is compelled, as the answer to his psychological need, to make god (idol) of his experiences and feelings.

The psychological needs are the root of man's spiritual pathology, while the spiritual needs and their fulfillment actually set one free from the psychological needs, and thus give one freedom to love.

One's spiritual condition is manifested in one's own life and thus in his philosophy of life. Man makes an effort, before his conscience to justify his psychological needs and thus he seeks and finds different sources.

The fanatical religion is the response to one's psychological needs, contrary to the true religion which is a response to one's spiritual needs.
