What is a good sannyasin?

Synthesized from Source definition

"A true sannyasin is not labeled as good; goodness is the essence of their being, transcending all dualities."

According to Osho, calling someone a "good sannyasin" is a contradiction: true sannyas is goodness itself. When one is a sannyasin, goodness isn't a moral label or comparison; it is the very nature of one's being. Thus, the adjective is redundant - sannyas transcends the duality of good and bad by embodying intrinsic goodness.
Saying "good sannyasin" is like saying "wet water"—a real sannyasin is already pure goodness.
Why this matters practically
- Drop judging and comparing; live authentically so goodness expresses by itself.
- Focus on being aware and true, not on collecting the label "good."
- Release moral anxiety; when you embody presence, right action follows.
