According to Osho, freedom from the world’s ‘mud’ comes not by escape but by transforming it—the mud is the mother of the lotus. Engage the marketplace of life as your dojo: let insult, conflict, sorrow, and joy awaken awareness. Visit solitude if helpful, but always return. Real sannyas is inner equanimity—remaining untouched amid dualities—so the same peace flowers in forest and bazaar.
Don’t run from life’s mess; use it to grow a calm heart that stays peaceful anywhere.
