Getting initiation into
sannyas really means getting initiation into
awareness. That's the whole work a sannyasin has
to do. All the methods of meditation are nothing
but devices to help you to become more aware.
-
My sannyasins belong to no
race, to no country, to no religion. That's what
my sannyas is all about: getting out of all
kinds of prisons, becoming simply human;
declaring one's universality, declaring that
"The whole earth belongs to us."
-
The whole process of
sannyas is a process of rebirthing.
-
Sannyas is a great
agreement, a covenant. When I initiate you into
sannyas, I am initiating you into the world of
my play. And if you are ready to go with me,
great doors are waiting to be opened fo r you.
But those doors are not of the mosque, of the
church? of the gurudwara, of the temple -- those
doors are of life itself. Life is the only
shrine of God and to be playful about it is the
only prayer.
-
Sannyas helps you to get
rid of the non-essential.
-
Sannyas movement is not
mine. It is not yours. It was here when I was
not here. It will be here when I will not be
here. Sannyas movement simply means the movement
of the seekers of truth. They have always been
here.
-
Sannyas is what I propose.
Sannyas means to remain in insecurity; sannyas
means not to allow your past to influence your
future, not to allow your past to project itself
into the future. Let the dead bury the dead. The
past is gone, gone. Don't cling to it, and don't
help it to cling to you.
-
"The wise" means one who
has not determined any conclusion beforehand.
The wise is one who has not invested in any
conclusion, who is ready to go with truth
wherever it leads. And this is the meaning of
sannyas too -- the freedom from conclusions, the
freedom from "isms" and ideologies, the freedom
to move with truth, the freedom to accept the
challenge of truth.
-
The old sannyas was somehow
life-negative. I have made it life- affirmative.
But it is the same sannyas. It is the same
search. I have made it more rich. I have made it
more grounded in the world because my whole
teaching is `be in the world, but don't be of
the world.' There is no need to renounce the
world. Only cowards renounce it. Live in the
world, experience it. It is a school. You cannot
grow in the Himalayas. You can only grow in the
world. Each step is an examination. Each step
you are passing through a test. Life is an
opportunity.
