According to Osho, embracing sannyas is a lion’s roar: by claiming your individuality and leaving the crowd’s beaten tracks, those you called your own will turn against you. Expect anger, ridicule, even persecution—it’s natural. Do not be disturbed; accept the revolt within. Test your strength, spread your wings, and you’ll fly in the sky of being—free of labels, seeking truth in your own way.
When you walk your own true path, some people—even close ones—may bark at you, but stay calm and keep going, and you become truly free.
