Core Insight:
According to Osho, many revered spiritual leaders share responsibility for global poverty because they preached turning inward while dismissing outer transformation through ideas like fate or karma. This one-sidedness diverted energy from improving material conditions, keeping societies lopsided. Real spirituality demands a tightrope balance: cultivate meditation and awareness while actively developing the outer world. Wholeness—inner and outer—alone is holy and prevents poverty’s persistence.
