Why do I feel helpless to surrender and take sannyas?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Surrender is not the absence of fear, but the courage to leap into the unknown despite it; only then will you discover the divine within."
According to Osho, you feel helpless to surrender because fear—of people, society, institutions, and family backlash—paralyzes you. My sannyas demands courage: it is a risky, non-escapist adventure, inviting ridicule and obstacles. See the fear clearly and drop it; leap anyway. Life belongs to risk-takers who live in the world yet are not of it; only then can you discover the divine at its core.
You’re scared of others’ reactions, so notice the fear and choose courage to step in anyway.
