According to Osho, desirelessness doesn’t halt progress; it clarifies it. If progress means outer accumulation, desirelessness may slow the frenzy—but if progress means peace, love, wisdom, it accelerates it. A quiet, desire-free mind becomes single-pointed, skillful, ethical, and creative—able to create (not steal) wealth—so outer prosperity may arise as a byproduct, never at the cost of inner richness. True progress is arriving, not running.
