Core Insight:
According to Osho, a 'poor man’s guru' guides the 'poor in spirit'—people who have seen the futility of possessions and recognize their inner poverty, regardless of bank balance. For him, poverty and wealth are inner movements of desire: both beggars and millionaires can be 'rich' if craving more. The guru directs such maturity toward inner fulfillment—the present kingdom within—while noting the materially poor need exceptional vision to realize this truth.
