According to Osho, 'mean' is the smallness of heart that withholds love, kindness, and sharing; 'miserly' is that same smallness expressed with money. The labels differ, but the root is fear and poverty-consciousness. Become aware, laugh at the ego’s clutch, and move from scarcity to celebration: generosity flows naturally when you feel inner abundance.
Being mean is a small heart; being miserly is that smallness with money—open your heart and you’ll share easily.
