How should a married sannyasin behave with his wife?

practice
"Let your love for your wife arise from deep awareness, not from borrowed rules; in meditation, find the freedom to respond spontaneously and authentically."
According to Osho, a married sannyasin should not follow borrowed rules about marital conduct; instead, meditate and awaken, and let spontaneous awareness guide every response to your wife. He counts only meditation, not behavior. Planned virtue breeds repression and ego; suppression of sex backfires. From deepening awareness, love, clarity, and even effortless brahmacharya may blossom naturally—without force, guilt, or hypocrisy.
Don’t ask for rules; meditate so your heart wakes up, and you’ll naturally treat your wife rightly without forcing or pretending.
