Why do more women become sannyasins than men?

Sannyas calls those who dare to love beyond respectability, embracing the outrageous and the beautiful in life.

— Osho
According to Osho, while it may be true that more women become sannyasins, the real point is attraction to the outrageous and the most beautiful; he playfully urges (especially German women) to prefer the unconventional and aesthetically alive. Sannyas, he implies, calls those who dare to love beyond respectability, not those seeking safe, conventional explanations.

He basically says: don’t overthink it—be drawn to bold, beautiful, unconventional life; that’s who sannyas is for.
