Osho,
What can I do with a beggar? Whether I give him a rupee or not, he will remain a beggar all the same.
"The beggar is not the problem. If the beggar..."

Osho,
What can I do with a beggar? Whether I give him a rupee or not, he will remain a beggar all the same.
"The beggar is not the problem. If the beggar..."
Osho continues:

"The beggar is not the problem. If the beggar..."
"The mind says. 'What is going to happen? He will remain the beggar, so there is no need to do anything.' You have missed an opportunity where your love could have flown.
"If the beggar has decided to be a beggar, you cannot do anything. You may give him: he may throw it. That is for him to decide.
"The mind is very clever.
"Then the question, it says:
"You can change the society – in Soviet Russia they have changed. That makes no difference. Now the old categories have disappeared – the poor and the rich – but the ruler and the ruled, a new category, has come up, Now the cunning are the rulers and the innocent are the ruled. Before, the innocent used to be poor and the cunning used to be rich. What can you do?
"Unless the division between mind and heart is dissolved, unless humanity starts living through the heart and not through the mind, the classes are going to remain. The names will change, and the misery is going to continue.
"The question is very relevant, very meaningful, significant 'What can I do with a beggar?' Beggar is not the question. The question is you and your heart. Do something, whatsoever you can do, and don't try to throw the responsibility on the rich. Don't try to throw the responsibility on history. Don't try to throw the responsibility on the economic structure. Because that is secondary if humanity remains cunning and calculative it is going to be repeated again and again and again."

"The mind is very clever.
"Then the question, it says:
Why are there beggars at all?"Because there is no love in the human heart. But again, the mind interferes:
Have not the rich taken away from the poor?"Now you are forgetting the beggar and the heartache that you felt. Now the whole thing is becoming political, economical. Now the problem is no more of the heart: it is of the mind. And mind has created the beggar. It is the cunningness, the calculativeness of the mind that has created the beggar. There are cunning people, very calculative: they have become rich. There are innocent people, not so calculative, not so cunning: they have become the poor.
Should not the poor take back
what the rich have stolen from him?
