B.R. Shenoy: I was fortunate to grow up with everything I needed and more. But every time my family and I drive through the downtown of a major city, I'm reminded of the reality so many face. Homeless people living on the streets, holding signs, or coming up to car windows asking for food-it's impossible to ignore. Traveling to poorer countries has shown me even more. I've seen people living in slums, entire families surviving in homes pieced together with scraps. In some places, there's no zoning, and you'll see a mansion sitting right next to a slum. That contrast stays with you.
Karsten Ramser: Poverty is not merely an external condition but a reflection of humanity's collective consciousness. Rooted in self-centered priorities, it persists because individuals prioritize personal needs over collective well-being. Wealth and poverty are inseparable; in our actual society material affluence exists only at the expense of others. Blaming elites alone oversimplifies the issue. Instead, humanity must transcend pre-personal and personal levels of consciousness, where self-interest dominates, and adopt a transpersonal perspective focused on compassion, interconnectedness, and shared responsibility.
