What is the concept of sannyasin energy greed?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Greed is the same disease, whether it clings to material possessions or spiritual enlightenment; true freedom lies in the awareness of its misery and the shift from hoarding to sharing."
According to Osho, sannyasin energy greed is the ego’s tendency to convert even spiritual energy, kundalini, powers, or enlightenment into objects of craving and possession. Greed is the same disease whatever the object. The cure is awareness of the misery greed creates and shifting from hoarding to sharing—the natural rhythm of life’s in-breath and out-breath—so love, prayer, meditation, and beauty can happen.
