Why is there so much poverty in this country?

definition
"The poverty of this country is rooted in a mindset that glorifies renunciation and neglects the beauty of this world; when we love life and the body, we unlock the creative energies that can transform destitution into abundance."
According to Osho, this country’s poverty springs from a centuries-old, anti-life, anti-body mindset that glorifies renunciation and worships poverty as spiritual. By praising the “other world,” people neglected this one—its beauty, work, cleanliness, and creation of wealth. The land is rich; the mind is poor. Transform the mind—love life and the body—and creative energies will build richness instead of perpetuating destitution.
People were taught that being poor is holy and this world doesn’t matter, so they stopped caring to make life better.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from glorifying poverty to valuing life, body, beauty, and productive work.
- Cultivate creativity, cleanliness, and craftsmanship to turn potential into prosperity.
- Change collective attitudes first; outer wealth follows inner friendliness with existence.
