Ask Osho!

How can I overcome obstacles in my sannyas practice?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Truth demands totality; only by risking everything can you truly step into the unknown and embrace your sannyas."

According to Osho, obstacles in sannyas are self-made: cowardice, concern for reputation, half-hearted ‘acting,’ and postponement. Overcome them by totality and courage—risk being laughed at, losing business, even your old identity. Untie the boat; step into the unknown. Choose one path and do it utterly; let outer steps (robes, mala) express an inner decision. Truth costs everything, not lip-service.
Be brave, stop pretending or waiting, and jump in fully—even if people laugh—so your actions match your heart.
Why this matters practically
- Replaces fear and social pressure with decisive action.
- Prevents spiritual procrastination and half-measures.
- Aligns outer choices with inner intent, creating real momentum.
