definition
"A good sannyasin is not one who renounces the world, but one who turns their energy inward, living with wakeful awareness, love, and compassion, embodying the kingdom within."
According to Osho, a good sannyasin is not defined by morality or renunciation of the world, but by wakeful awareness. He or she turns energy inward (parabvrutti), stays centered while living in the world, and acts from love and compassion that replenish energy. In awareness, one aligns with the eternal law, grows inwardly rich, and embodies the kingdom within.
It’s someone who stops chasing outside things, looks inside, stays awake to themselves, and lives with love even while doing normal life.
