outcome
"You can be in business and still be religious, but to be a businessman is to be trapped in greed; true religion invites you to share, to love, and to live in the present moment."
According to Osho, you can be in business and still be religious, but you cannot be a 'businessman' and religious—because 'businessman' names a greedy, bargaining, future‑obsessed psychology. Religion is an inner shift: drop accumulation for sharing, greed for generosity, tension for relaxed presence. Stay in the marketplace, but live moment to moment, oriented to love, beauty, truth, meditation—not profit.
Yes: you can do business and be spiritual if you drop the greedy, deal-making mindset and work with generosity and presence.
