What happens when one thinks of gaining after losing everything?

True renunciation is choiceless; it is only in letting go that one discovers the mastery of being.

— Osho
According to Osho, if you think, “I’ll lose everything to gain everything,” you cannot truly renounce; the motive to gain corrupts surrender. Humility or loss pursued as a strategy is false. Real renunciation is choiceless; only then does mastery—and the only real ‘gain’—happen as a byproduct. Those intent on gaining cannot let go; those who let go become masters.

If you try to give up just to get something later, it isn’t real giving up—let go without expecting, and the real reward comes by itself.
