"Taking sannyas despite the mind's resistance is the ultimate act of courage, for it is the death of the ego and the birth of true freedom. Trust your inner voice, but do not rush; authenticity cannot be borrowed."
According to Osho, taking sannyas against the mind is choosing your inner voice over the ego; it is the “greatest danger” because the mind—merely an echo of others—must die. If the inner call is genuine, this leap ends the torment of ego and births freedom. But don’t hurry or imitate; a hasty, borrowed sannyas washes off and collapses midway.
Saying yes to sannyas means stop following the noisy, fearful mind and follow your real heart—only when you truly feel ready—so it lasts.
