What happens when one takes sannyas but feels frustration and melancholy?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Taking sannyas does not promise instant joy; it reveals the depths of your despair and invites you to surrender your ego, transforming melancholy into meaning and beauty in the embrace of the Divine."
According to Osho, taking sannyas while feeling frustrated simply reveals the horse you’ve been riding—the world’s built‑in despair. Sannyas doesn’t grant instant cheer; it invites surrender of ego and companionship with the Divine. When you truly bow and take God’s company, melancholy dissolves into meaning, beauty, and victorious joy; without that surrender, defeat continues.
Sannyas won’t instantly make you happy; it’s the start of dropping ego and turning to God so sadness can become real joy.
