Osho
quotes on Sannyas
- That is the meaning of my SANNYAS: be in the world but don't be of it.
- That's what sannyas is all about: the art of living in
the world without being part of it, the art of living life without being
identified with it. That's what real let-go is.
- The second kind of sannyas -- the kind I am introducing
into the world -- is not one of formal renunciation. In fact, I never use
the word 'renunciation' at all. I say: Sannyas is rejoicing. Rejoice in
life, in love, in meditation, in the beauties of the world, in the ecstasy
of existence -- rejoice in everything! Transform the mundane into the
sacred. Transform this shore into the other shore. Transform the earth
into paradise.
- Life is so simple that if one is courageous enough to live it, mind can be abandoned completely. And to abandon the mind and to live life spontaneously is what I call sannyas.
- Remember this: while you are flowing and young, that is
the moment of sannyas, that is the moment of offering yourself to God.
Don't postpone it. All postponement is dangerous, because with the very
idea of postponing there is no end to it. You will go on postponing.
- Sannyas should be available to everybody. The whole
country must be able to become sannyasins, but that is possible only if
you can be a sannyasin in ordinary life -- if you can go to the office, if
you can work in a shop, if you can be a laborer, or a teacher, or a
doctor, or an engineer and still be a sannyasin.
- Sannyas is a suicide of the mind, so is meditation, so
is wisdom. These are different names for the same phenomenon, different
aspects of the same diamond.
