Why do sincere and kindhearted people suffer while the cunning and evil flourish? Is this the result of past life karma?

Real goodness yields inner riches, while the cunning may win the outer game but often suffer within; choose your journey wisely.

— Osho
According to Osho, it isn’t past-life karma but the game you choose. In the outer race for money, power, and status, the cunning naturally prevail; in the inner journey toward silence, peace, and bliss, the virtuous flourish. You can’t have both prizes. Real goodness yields inner riches, not palaces. So don’t be jealous—be compassionate: the ‘winners’ of the world often suffer within, while true virtue enjoys every moment.

Kind people might not get money or titles, but they get a peaceful heart; tricky people may win prizes, yet feel empty inside—so choose what truly matters.
