outcome
"Your resistance to sannyas is not about the path itself, but a lifetime of allowing others to dictate your choices; embrace the unknown, meditate, and take full responsibility for your own decisions."
According to Osho, your resistance isn’t about sannyas itself but about a lifelong habit of letting others decide for you. Childhood conditioning crippled your capacity to will, turning decisions into anxiety. You wait for an authority to guarantee the unknown. Become a grown-up: meditate, accept risk and possible mistakes, and take full responsibility. Choose from your own center—whether yes or no—without seeking orders.
You’re scared because you were taught to let others choose; calm down, look inside, and make your own choice—even if it isn’t perfect.
