According to Osho, simplicity is not an outer show of poverty or asceticism but an inner clarity that chooses what is most nonviolent and intelligent. Riding a donkey to appear 'simple' tortures a living being; using a Rolls Royce harms no one directly and may be the kinder choice. True simplicity means dropping pretenses, selecting means that minimize harm, and letting compassion - not ideology - guide lifestyle.
Simplicity means choosing what hurts no one, not pretending to be poor.
