How can I encourage my beloved to become a sannyasin?

Sannyas arises by resonance, not persuasion; let your own transformation and joy be the invitation.

— Osho
According to Osho, you can’t convert a beloved into sannyas; only love’s “seduction” works. Don’t argue, threaten, or sell paradise—be patient, radiant, and available. Let your own transformation, silence, and joy speak; if possible, simply bring them near the living presence and allow contagion to happen. Never proclaim “I’ve found it”; when truth flowers, IT speaks through you. Sannyas arises by resonance, not persuasion.

Don’t try to convince them—just live the joy and peace of sannyas, let them feel it, and they’ll choose freely if it touches them.
