outcome
"Taking sannyas is not a thought but a taste; it is the courageous leap of a seed breaking open, where you die to the old and are reborn in divine madness."
According to Osho, sannyas can't be known by thinking; it must be tasted. It is soul nourishment, a courageous leap like a seed breaking or a dewdrop merging into the ocean - a 'divine madness' and sacred intoxication. In taking sannyas you voluntarily die to the old, and in that death, fear and ordinary death lose their hold; you are reborn.
It's like drinking when you’re thirsty—you only know by sipping; sannyas is a brave sip that ends the old you and begins a fresher, freer life.
