Osho Quotes on Sannyas

  • Children are simple, innocent. And sannyas is something which can be received only in deep innocence.
     

  • To be a sannyasin means to accept the natural insecurity of life. That very acceptance is sannyas.
     

  • Sannyas is not a goal. Sannyas is an understanding that goals don't exist. The universe is always fulfilled. Not that the fulfillment has to happen somewhere else; it is already happening.
     

  • Sannyas is desirelessness, and desirelessness means living in the now.
     

  • Sannyas is an effort to reclaim that which is yours and to drop that which is not yours. Sannyas is an effort to drop that which you really don't have, and to claim that which you always had with you all along. Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature. You are going upstream -- that's what misery is.
     

  • To me, sannyas is not to take life very seriously -- take it playfully.
     

  • Life is a river. Don't push it and you will not be miserable. The art of not pushing the river of life is sannyas.
     

  • Totality has to be started; it is the beginning and the end too. In the beginning it is going to be difficult because you will be going against the current of the society, but that's what sannyas is: taking courage to be oneself And I don't expect you to become total right now, But the decision will help. If you decide to be total, slowly slowly you will be more and more total, degrees and degrees, by degrees one day you will attain to the hundred-degree point.
     

  • Sannyas is nothing but a vision of living this moment utterly, totally, absolutely. Sannyas simply means that you will not postpone life anymore. Sannyas simply means that you will not live in dreams anymore, that you will take hold of this moment and squeeze the whole juice out of it right now. That's what sannyas is: it is a way of intense living, of sensitive living.
