Core Insight:
According to Osho, non-attachment (anasakti) is the root from which two life orientations unfold: nishkama karma—‘not-doing while doing,’ acting without craving, expectation, or insistence; and sannyas—‘doing while not-doing,’ a non-withdrawn awareness that accepts participation and responsibility in the whole even when one abstains. Both arise only in a non-attached consciousness, dissolving sorrow, despondency, and egoic separation.
