outcome
"Becoming a sannyasin is to embrace the unknown, transforming fear into love and revealing who your true friends are in the process."
According to Osho, taking sannyas is stepping into the unknown: fear and anxiety arise, old relationships feel unsettled, and you may seem an outsider among friends. Yet true friends will give you space; those who can’t were never friends. As love for the new grows, the choice clarifies. Sannyas shifts you from worldly outsiderness toward belonging to existence—God—so the whole quality of life changes.
You’ll feel scared and some friends may not understand, but real friends will—and sannyas helps you truly belong to life.
