Is it acceptable to become a sannyasin gradually, or is a sudden commitment necessary?

"Sannyas is a love affair with truth that can blossom suddenly or unfold gradually; what truly matters is your sincere, total yes when the moment arrives."
According to Osho, sannyas is a love affair with truth: for some it happens in a flash; for others it matures step by step. What matters is a sincere, total yes—whenever it flowers. Keep dropping the old, piece by piece, and when readiness peaks, jump wholly—without force, fear, or postponement.
You can ease into sannyas or leap at once—just keep letting go until your whole heart truly says yes.
