outcome
"Sannyas is not about joining a sect; it is about stepping beyond all religions and dogmas to connect directly with the divine within yourself."
According to Osho, initiation into sannyas is not joining a sect but stepping out of all religions, scriptures, temples and guru–disciple bonds. He serves only as a temporary witness for those not yet directly connected to the divine, urging immediate self-reliance. Sannyas means living without dogma or labels, relating to existence directly, and dissolving the very possibility of a sect.
You don’t join a group; you drop labels and, with Osho only witnessing for a while, you learn to connect to life/God by yourself.
