What is the significance of Marwaris?

The true Marwari lives within us all, clinging to possessions and ideas; spiritual growth begins when we learn to open our fists and share, allowing our hearts to expand and our souls to flourish.

— Osho
According to Osho, “Marwaris” signify the mind’s hoarding, miserly tendency—not an ethnic group but an inner posture that clings to possessions, ideas, and even rubbish. He jokes to expose this habit: the “Marwari” lives in everyone. Spiritual growth means dissolving this tight fist through sharing and generosity; when we release and give, the heart opens and the soul becomes available.

Osho uses “Marwari” as a funny label for our stingy minds, saying we find our true self by learning to share and let go.
