definition
"A sannyasin is like a lotus in water, living fully in the world yet remaining untouched by it, embodying presence without entanglement."
According to Osho, there is not a list of traits but a single mark of a sannyasin: like a lotus in water, he lives amidst the world yet remains untouched by it. This means non-attachment and non-clinging—participating fully in life without letting circumstances, desires, or fears stick to the being. Presence without entanglement is the essence.
