outcome
"Your real age begins with sannyas; even at sixty, being a two-year-old is perfectly right, for significance comes from depth, not duration. In this moment of awakened awareness, the child within you can mature, transcending the constraints of destiny."
According to Osho, your real age begins with sannyas—the second birth—so being a “two‑year‑old” at sixty is perfectly right. Don’t worry about the decades lost; significance comes from depth, not duration. Even one minute of awakened awareness equals eternity. Therefore the child in you can mature now; destiny is secondary to your present, conscious commitment.
Your spiritual life starts when you awaken, and even a single deep, aware moment can grow you up fast—no matter your age.
