What has happened to my identity as a poet after taking sannyas?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Poetry arises when the poet disappears; it is in the absence of the self that the divine can flow through you. Embrace emptiness and let creation unfold without the need for identity."
According to Osho, your sannyas has dissolved the egoic identity of “poet”—and that is precisely right. Poetry happens only when ‘you’ are absent; the poem conceives and, when born, it creates the poet, not vice versa. Drop all claim and waiting. Become empty, receptive. Then, someday, the beyond may flow through you; you’ll witness it, humble, unsigned.
Losing the label ‘poet’ lets true poetry come by itself when you’re quiet, and you simply watch it happen.
Why this matters practically
- Frees you from pressure to produce; nurtures patience and receptivity.
- Turns creativity into meditation; you become a channel, not a doer.
- Cultivates humility; reduces ego and comparison.
