God is not a person but a
presence. And two swords cannot exist in one
sheath: either you can exist, or God. You have
to disappear, evaporate. Your absence is what
sannyas is all about.
-
Sannyas is only a
remembrance. His change of clothes is nothing
but to remind him continuously, twenty-four
hours, that now he has chosen meditation as his
path. The day he has achieved, there is no need
for his red clothes.
-
Sannyas is only a
declaration. The work is meditation. In one
single word, my religion is complete, and that
is meditation.
-
My sannyas is simply a
process of undoing what the society has done to
you. I am simply provoking your intelligence
again. It is dormant. It is there; nobody can
kill it, it can only be repressed. Finding a
suitable, comfortable situation, it can again
start growing. I want every one of my sannyasins
to be utterly unique.
-
The process of sannyas is
the process of becoming absent more and more, so
that one day there is only empty space left
inside and nothing else. In that emptiness,
whenever it is total, instantly God is felt. God
is felt as a presence -- and God is another name
for love. And to know God is to know poetry, to
know God is to know celebration, to know God is
to know bliss -- SAT-CHIT-ANAND.
-
The sannyas that teaches
indifference is phony. The sannyas that teaches
you how to live in the world and yet float above
it like a lotus flower, like a lotus leaf,
remaining in the water and yet untouched by the
water, remaining in the world and yet not
allowing the world to enter into you, being in
the world yet not being of the world, that is
true renunciation.
-
This has to be understood
as one of the most basic principles of sannyas
-- a declaration of self-respect and freedom and
responsibility.
-
Sannyas is nothing but a
decision, a total decision, a commitment, an
involvement, that "Now my whole energy is going
to move into one direction -- the direction of
freedom; I have decided to be free, free from
all desire and free from all sorrow. Freedom
without bounds is my goal."
-
SANNYAS is living life in
its totally, moment to moment; allowing it to
happen without any conditions on your part. And
then, if you allow this much, life allows you a
transcendence.
-
Sannyas is will to die, so
that God can live, so that you disappear, so
that you are no more a hindrance, so that you
are no more a rock in His way.
