What should we tell others about Sannyas?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Sannyas cannot be explained; it is a living presence that speaks through your silence, your eyes, and your way of being. When you drop the past and future, your essence radiates the fragrance of true freedom."
According to Osho, sannyas cannot be explained; language handles only dead things. Tell nothing—be a sannyasin. Let your presence, silence, eyes, breath and way of living speak. Sannyas is freedom from the mind—the dead past and projected future—living freshly, desirelessly, here-now. When you drop goals and dust of memory, your very being radiates the fragrance of sannyas, and that alone convincingly 'tells' it.
Don’t try to explain sannyas—live so free of past and desire that people feel it in your quiet, joyful presence.
