How can we justify living in comfort when there are people out there on streets who are hungry? How could Osho live lives of comfort knowing this?

Dear,

About changing the external world, and why no Prophet has tried to address the problem of economic poverty etc: The work of a saint is internal. If external work, that necessarily involves doership, is to be measured, then it is true that no saint has ever contributed anything to mankind.

When I was a student of Engineering, I once asked: Kabir was a weaver, why did he not introduce some revolution in weaving or spinning technology? Was he not guilty of ignoring technological progress? Today I know better than that. We know that the external is only an image of the internal. The real work is within. At some stage, the work within starts showing externally also. The European Renaissance is such a good example.
