According to Osho, postponing sannyas in old age is like the tail gunner who heard 'enemy at five o'clock' and did nothing because it was only four-thirty: hesitation guarantees disaster. Life's attack is imminent; time is short. Indecision is dereliction - awareness must respond now. Delay squanders your last strength, invites regret, and leaves you unprepared for death's arrival.
If you wait too long to jump in, you miss the moment and get caught unready.
