Ask Osho!

Is there an alternative to taking sannyas that won't affect my career?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Choose wholeheartedly—yes or no—rather than live divided to protect a career; true transformation demands the courage to embrace your truth, even at a cost."

According to Osho, be utterly clear: if sannyas is your truth, take it and accept the cost—even career trouble—because inner contentment outweighs safety. If you want no disruption, choose a traditional, socially acceptable sannyas, but it’s cheap and won’t transform you. Better to choose wholeheartedly—yes or no—than live divided to protect a career.
Pick what’s real: either risk your job for true sannyas, take a safe traditional version that changes little, or don’t do it—but be clear.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents living split between desire and security, reducing regret.
- Prioritizes inner contentment over social approval and money.
- Encourages courageous, all-in decisions for an authentic life.
