Ask Osho!

Who is doing the choosing among the chosen few?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The 'chosen few' are not chosen by an external force; they choose themselves, embracing their freedom and responsibility in the journey of self-discovery."

According to Osho, there is no external chooser; the 'chosen few' choose themselves. In his vision, becoming a sannyasin is a voluntary, reversible act—your freedom remains intact. He refuses to designate favorites, having 'learned from God’s mistake.' Self-selection avoids superiority complexes and persecution; spiritual worth comes from your conscious choice, responsibility, and readiness, not from divine favoritism or institutional appointment.
You pick yourself—no one else picks you—and you’re free to change your mind anytime.
Why this matters practically
- Puts you in charge of your growth and responsibility.
- Avoids ego and conflict created by claims of being 'chosen.'
- Frees you from dependence on external authorities or labels.
