Ask Osho!

What should someone do to become a sannyasin, and what if they want to drop out?

Synthesized from Source practice

"To become a sannyasin, simply say yes—like falling in love; and if you wish to leave, do so freely, for both arrivals and departures are to be celebrated."

According to Osho, to become a sannyasin you simply say yes—like falling in love—there are no conditions, vows, or rituals. And if you wish to leave, you just leave; no divorce, no guilt—we even celebrate both arrivals and departures. Participation is entirely your freedom and responsibility, and your decision is respected.
Just join if your heart says yes; if it later says no, you can go—no rules, no hard feelings.
Why this matters practically
- Removes fear of commitment, allowing an honest, wholehearted yes.
- Puts responsibility on your inner truth rather than external authority.
- Reduces guilt and pressure, making spiritual exploration open and joyful.
