A sannyasi is one who is established in love and compassion in the inner world, while being established in concentration and precision in the outer world!
The famous poet Kabir says that when love possesses you, don’t even think twice. Just dive into it. If you start thinking, it is like arranging your pillows when deep sleep of rest has come to your eyes. He says, ‘Even though the head itself must be given, why should you weep over it!’ The master…

Avatar is the door gifted by the Existence to say yes to it and rise in love with it!
Sannyas is saying ‘yes’ to Existence. Saying ‘Yes’ is surrender. Saying ‘yes’ is love and compassion. The human mind is trained to always say ‘no’. Saying ‘no’ boosts the ego. ‘Yes’ makes the ego vulnerable, so the mind continues to say ‘no.’ Sannyas is saying ‘yes’ to Existence. Existence created you. It is waiting to…

Even in the most difficult times, a sannyasi remains with the awareness that life is a fleeting dream
A sannyasi is one who clearly sees that everything is changing all the time, and everything is beautiful just the way it is. He also knows that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That is why he sets out first to clean his eyes. Eyes are the windows of the soul, so his…

Sannyas is the understanding of the transient nature of everything
All desires, possessions, and emotions are moving and changing. Everything is changing and moving. Nothing is permanent. If you analyze your own desires before one is fulfilled, it looks like a mountain, a huge goal. After being fulfilled, the same desire looks like a molehill. Before being fulfilled, it will seem like your very life. After…

Why do you think His Divine Holiness Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam gives one a spiritual name?
Why do you think I give you a spiritual name? I give you a spiritual name to help you more easily disconnect from the past. When somebody calls out your name, immediately your awareness grips you and you respond. This is how deeply your name is embedded in your unconscious. Your name brings immediate awareness into you.…

Jeevan mukta is a person who has clarity about the goal and pours his consciousness only on that goal every moment of life.
If the purpose of life itself is enlightenment, where are we stuck right now? In what areas of our lives are we moving in the wrong direction? Understand that the problem is in recognizing the correct goal. If the goal is right, you have achieved it. If your goal is right, it means you are…

Whatever goal you may be running behind in your life – money or relationship or whatever, your end goal is only bliss
The very goal of life is enlightenment. You may have other goals, but knowingly or unknowingly, they are just different names that we give to the goal of enlightenment. In the same way, whatever else you may seek, what you actually seek is sannyas itself. But you don’t know it. That is the problem! You…

Sannyas is taking a strong decision not to allow the unconscious to hinder the consciousness and to establish consciousness firmly on the master and his words
Integrating the mind is the essence of life. Decide you will always say and do only what you feel is right. Then, you will come to tremendous clarity and conviction in the inner and outer worlds. Vivekananda recounts in his life that his master, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, died leaving him the responsibility of the mission. At…

The scale to measure the quality of a person’s life is to see how much he lived in tune with what he felt was life!
See, there are three things: Thinking the Truth, Speaking the Truth, Living the Truth. The first two are easy to follow. But the third, living the Truth all the time, is difficult. It is very rare. Sannyas is the courage to live what we think is the Truth. We give importance to speaking the Truth.…

If you study the lives of great masters and try to search for one basic essence in all of their lives is that they were ready to lose even their very lives, but not their integrity!
The word ‘penance’ means nothing but integrating yourself, making yourself a single entity. You may ask, ‘Are we not like that now?’ If you look closely, you will see that we exist as different entities, never as one. There is everything else in our life, except integration. If you look deeply inside, you will understand,…

What is the role of the master in sannyas?
Mahavir Jain was a great Jain master who compiled the teachings of Jainism known as the Jain Sutras. The verse begins, ‘namo arihantana’. ’Namo arihantana’ means, ‘I bow in reverence to the arihantas who achieved the highest truths.’ He is talking about the great enlightened masters. These masters not only achieve, but they radiate the truths…

Sannyas is what softens you into real love, love towards not just one person but towards the whole of Existence.
Sannyas is about seeing the wonderful co-existence of everything in Existence. Sannyas is existing in relationships like a water drop on the lotus leaf. If you see the lotus leaf, the water droplet will be on the leaf but will be untouched by it. Sannyas is living in relationships while being untouched by them. A…
