"Sannyas is not about acquiring knowledge, but about surrendering to a true guru, allowing your ego to dissolve into the profound silence of your natural emptiness."
According to Osho, sannyas is not acquiring teachings but surrendering to a true guru who takes away your accumulated knowledge, ambitions, and ego. It is a love-filled discipleship where anger cannot exist, and you become a 'zero'—utterly empty, silent, greedless. What remains is your irretrievable, natural emptiness: a total inner transformation that cannot be returned or revoked.
Stop trying to get something, trust a real master, and let everything you cling to be removed until you rest in peaceful emptiness.
