Ask Osho!

Will sannyasins become dull and crazy like other religions?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Sannyas is a living movement; embrace the aliveness of the spirit and let go of the dead forms."

According to Osho, sannyas is a living movement, not a dead religion; it stays fresh only while the master’s presence and insight are alive. When life departs, don’t cling to the corpse—bury the forms, not the spirit. Enjoy the living tree; avoid worshipping dead words. Sannyasins remain sane by embracing change, aliveness, and direct experience over tradition.
Follow what’s alive now, and when it dies, let it go instead of holding its corpse.
Why this matters practically
