Are there some people who should not or need not take sannyas?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"When the call for sannyas arises from your being, do not wait for the mind's consent; leap courageously beyond its rationalizations and embrace the truth of your inner self."
According to Osho, no one is exempt from sannyas if the call arises from one’s being; it is a courageous leap beyond mind, not a mental decision. The mind will rationalize and resist because sannyas is its death, so don’t wait for its consent. Techniques that shuffle mental gears can’t decide it; when the guts say yes, jump—and drop the mind totally.
If your deepest heart says yes, take sannyas now—don’t wait for your thinking mind or any technique to approve.
