What happens to addictions after taking sannyas?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When true surrender occurs, the first ray from beyond enters, and addictions dissolve effortlessly as the ego's struggle fades, making way for authentic virtues to blossom."
According to Osho, when sannyas happens—true surrender after exhausting personal effort—the first ray from beyond enters and transformation begins on its own. Addictions, which arrive in packs, start dissolving together without struggle, as egoic 'trying' drops. In their place, virtues arise in clusters; one authentic step (like truthfulness) reorders your whole life, and compulsions lose their grip.
If you truly hand your life to the divine, your bad habits fade by themselves and good habits naturally appear.
