"Without your consent, you remain as you are—perhaps asleep or thirsty—because freedom, not violence, is the ground of real change."
According to Osho, sannyas is simply your gesture of openness. If you refuse it, nothing punitive happens—but nothing transformative can be done either. He will not force or chase you; like sunlight before a closed door or a river before uncupped hands, he waits. Without your consent, you remain as you are—perhaps asleep or thirsty—because freedom, not violence, is the ground of real change.
If you don’t open the door, he won’t push in; you’ll stay the same until you choose to welcome the help.
