Here’s some super stuff from the legendary Osho, on money:
- Money is equated with power and is a common focus for most people.
- Even those considering spiritual or otherworldly pursuits view their virtues as a form of currency that can “purchase” a better status in the afterlife.
- Both worldly wealth and spiritual “wealth” are motivated by similar desires for security and a better position, either on earth or in heaven.
- Money serves as a future security; people accumulate it to feel secure about their future.
- The preoccupation with money only diminishes when one begins to live fully in the present, stepping away from concerns about the future.
- Ultimately, money, whether in literal or metaphorical terms, symbolizes power, and this underlying quest for power is pervasive across different realms of thought.
