How do I take sannyas and overcome hesitation?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Sannyas is not something to be taken; it is the courageous leap into the unknown, where the mind's calculations dissolve and the heart's trust leads the way."

According to Osho, sannyas isn’t a procedure to “take” but a happening when you drop thinking and step into the unknown. The mind’s “how” postpones forever; tomorrow never comes. Taste first, then understanding follows—like learning to swim by entering water. Sannyas is dying to the ego and past, and being born as witnessing innocence; it needs courage, trust, and immediacy, not calculation.
To take sannyas, stop figuring it out and bravely jump into the unknown now—the experience itself will teach you.
