What is the role of a guru in relation to wealth?

A guru guides you not to wealth in possessions, but to the richness of your being—sensitivity, creativity, and receptivity. True spiritual insight emerges only after the basic needs of body and mind are fulfilled.

— Osho
According to Osho, a guru is not the 'rich man’s' guide in terms of money, but of richness of beingsensitivity, creativity, receptivity. Wealth creation is a legitimate, even artistic, dimension, yet lower than music, poetry, or philosophy. Spiritual guidance becomes meaningful only after basic bodily and psychological needs are met; then the guru speaks to those capable of refined understanding.

A true guru helps people who’ve met their basic needs and grown some inner sensitivity; money can be good and creative, but it’s not the highest richness.
