"Charging for meditation is not just about money; it is a commitment to your highest pursuit, a way to show that you are ready to invest your life-energy in the quest for truth."
According to Osho, charging for meditation or talks is a symbolic commitment that shows you value the highest pursuit. Money represents your time and life-energy; offering it signals sincerity and readiness to stake more—ultimately your whole life—for truth. Fees also filter out the merely curious, allowing deeper work with a few genuine seekers rather than a crowd seeking freebies.
Paying a little shows you truly care, like trading some of your time for something special, and it keeps only the really interested people in the room.
Why this matters practically
- Builds real commitment by investing your time/energy, deepening practice.
- Filters out casual attendance so teachings can go deeper.
- Trains you to value what matters most—preparing to give beyond money (habits, ego).
