Ask Osho!

What is your perspective on capitalism?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Wealth should be a joyful byproduct of creativity, not a pedestal for the ego; true richness lies in humility and the understanding that inner emptiness cannot be filled by money."

According to Osho, capitalism’s problem isn’t wealth creation but the ego it breeds. When the rich mistake money for superiority, they inflame the poor’s jealousy and fuel class conflict. Wealth should be a joyful byproduct of creativity, not a pedestal. The truly rich become humble, seeing inner emptiness wealth can’t fill; their egolessness dissolves envy and enables harmonious prosperity.
Make money if you like, but don’t act superior—be humble and look inside, because only inner peace ends jealousy and fights.
Why this matters practically
- If you have wealth, practice humility and service so you don’t trigger envy and conflict.
- Treat work and production as joyful creativity, not ego-building; use money as a tool, not identity.
- Seek inner fulfillment through awareness so outer success doesn’t become a trap.
