According to Osho, the beggar is a mirror: your response reveals and reshapes you. Don’t let the calculating mind block the heart; give or act if love moves you. Your gesture may not end his begging, but it transforms you, nurturing a 'revolution of the heart.' As such love grows collectively - seeing the other as an end, not a means - poverty fades without merely changing exploiters' labels.
Helping a beggar might not change him, but it grows your heart, and that is the real change.
