Can you elaborate or give examples for what exactly you mean by spiritual
and mental aspects?

I would guess you mean tattvajnAnam for "spiritual".

And manonAsha and Vada akshaya for "mental aspects".

The entire text is about that very theme. As SrI VidyAraNya svAminaH says,

"As the Seeker should practise Study, etc., for attaining
Realization of the Truth (TattvajnAnam), so also the Enlightened
must attain “ Dissolution of the Mind ” (Mano-nAsha) and
“ Obliteration of Latent Desire (vAsanAkShaya)""
