Core Insight:
According to Osho, sannyas is the state of a lover of the Divine who is 'mad with pain, wild with love': one who consciously embraces the sweet ache of both separation from God and union with God, letting remembrance of the One steady the mind. A sannyasin doesn't flee this pain but is intoxicated by it, allowing it to ripen into honeyed devotion and total orientation toward the One.
