"Truth is known only by tasting; it requires the courage to step into the river of existence and the trust to follow a master who can guide you to its sweetness."
According to Osho, most miss the sweet fruit of sannyas because they demand proof before tasting—clinging to logic, fear, and postponement like someone wanting to learn swimming without entering the river. Truth is known only by tasting. It takes courage and trust, and the company of a master—an experienced ‘boatman’—to step in, learn, and discover its sweetness.
We don’t taste sannyas because we want a guarantee first, but like swimming, you only know by jumping in—be brave and hold a good swimmer’s hand.
