Ask Osho!

When should I take sannyas?

Synthesized from Source practice

"The right time to take sannyas is now, for 'when' is merely a disguise for postponement; the divine exists only in the narrow doorway of the present moment."

According to Osho, the right time to take sannyas is now. The word 'when' is a disguise for postponement; tomorrow is unreliable. Sannyas means living fully in the present—seizing the rare moments when awareness opens. Postpone the bad; do the good instantly. The divine is found only in the narrow doorway of now, not in past memories or future desires.
Don’t wait—if your heart is open, take sannyas now, because real life and God happen only in this moment.
Why this matters practically
- Stops procrastination on inner growth and loving actions.
- Trains you to catch brief windows of clarity and act.
- Reorders priorities: postpone harmful impulses; do the good immediately.
