What is the reason for constant thoughts about money?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"When you feel inwardly empty, you seek to fill that void with money and power, but true fulfillment comes from embracing the present and realizing that your inner emptiness is already full."
According to Osho, constant thoughts about money arise because money symbolizes power and future security; when we feel inwardly empty, we try to stuff that emptiness with money, prestige, and virtue. This thirst is endless. Only by living in the present and meditating (seeing our inner emptiness as already full) do money and power obsessions naturally fade.
We keep thinking about money because we feel empty and fear the future; being present and meditating lets that craving relax.
Why this matters practically
- Practice daily meditation to befriend inner emptiness and reduce craving.
- Shift attention from future security to present awareness to ease anxiety.
- Make choices from sufficiency, not power-hunger, improving relationships and wellbeing.
