practice
"Live courageously and clearly, embracing your desires without repression, for true sannyas is about being authentically alive in the world."
According to Osho, a sannyasin’s daily conduct is not repression or escape but courageous, clear-eyed living. Don’t hide behind celibacy, fear of women, or intoxication; meet desires honestly, without force, instead of stuffing them down. Walk alert in the world, open to reality and relationship, free from fear and hypocritical austerity—authentic, relaxed, and responsible rather than neurotically suppressing life energy.
Be brave and honest each day: don’t run from life or your feelings—see them clearly and act without pretending.
