Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes; only a sinner can become a sannyasin. Sin means unconsciousness, forgetfulness of oneself; sannyas is the celebration of life through awareness. Admitting "I am a sinner" is the first step of real virtue and the start of the inward pilgrimage. So-called saints clinging to borrowed morality are closed to life and thus far from God, who is the living center.
