Core Insight:
According to Osho, charity is not almsgiving or ‘relief’; it is love plus awareness that ends the very causes of poverty. True religiousness refuses to protect exploitation; it empowers the poor, challenges greed, and transforms society—nonviolently and democratically—so everyone’s needs are met. Charity is systemic compassion: abolishing man-made poverty through understanding, sharing, and a revolution born of love, not violence.
