According to Osho, to be a sannyasin is not to renounce life but to enter it with total awareness, love, and freedom. It is an inner commitment to wakefulness, to drop borrowed identities and live authentically, in the world yet not possessed by it. Sannyas is courage: a joyous rebellion, a trustful leap from mind’s fear into meditative being.
It means choosing to be your real, awake self while living in the world without letting it control you.
