What are the feelings and power dynamics surrounding money?

Money can buy comfort and culture, but it can never purchase the true treasures of love, compassion, and enlightenment; to master life is to honor inner wealth while wisely using the power of money.

— Osho
According to Osho, money is a life-affirming power: it buys almost everything needed for a rich, cultured life—comforts, learning, great art and music—but never the essential inner treasures of love, compassion, freedom, enlightenment. Religions oppose money because they oppose life’s sensual fullness; such moralism (and political bans like Aurangzeb’s) weaponizes poverty and deprivation to control sensitivity. Real mastery honors inner wealth while using money wisely.

Money helps you enjoy life’s beauties, but it can’t buy love or wisdom—so don’t fear or worship it; use it well while growing your heart.
