Synthesized from Source
definition
"Sannyas is not merely the beginning of devotion; it is the start of a pilgrimage toward the divine, where surrender transforms every action into worship."
According to Osho, sannyas is not the beginning of devotion specifically; it is the beginning of the pilgrimage toward God. It is a declaration of readiness, after which three paths open—devotion (heart), knowledge (mind), and action (body). Choose the way matching your energy. The key is surrender: become an instrument of the divine, so even ordinary work turns into worship and inner transformation.
Sannyas means you’re ready to start the journey, then you take the path—heart, mind, or action—that fits you and offer everything to God.
