Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes—despair can lead to moksha-sannyasa, but only when it is total and consciously faced. Complete despair becomes Vishada-Yoga, the first noble truth: clear awareness that life is suffering. From there, one must glimpse the second truth—that freedom is possible—often through a living master. Mere despair paralyses; total despair, plus trust and guidance, ignites the journey from anguish to liberation.
