Sannyas : The lifestyle of let-go

NOW YOU NEED NOT BE A WARRIOR ANY MORE! Rather, surrender. Enough of the fighting. For uncountable lives you have been fighting, just as everybody else has been fighting. We have been taught and brought up for centuries to fight.

THERE ARE THREE WARS THAT ARE GOING ON CONTINUOUSLY: one is with NATURE, which has finally culminated in science; the second is with the SOCIETY, which becomes politics; and the third is with ONESELF, which becomes so-called religion. And all have been destructive. Science has destroyed the ecology, the whole balance of nature; politics is nothing but crimes and crimes against humanity; and the so-called religion has destroyed all that is beautiful and graceful in man.

BUT THE WHOLE APPROACH OF WAR HAS FAILED. We have to start a new human being. A totally new vision of life has to begin: the life of surrender, the life of let-go. Be in tune with nature, there is no need to fight. Be in tune with other people, there is no need to be ambitious. And be in absolute tune with yourself. Don't divide yourself, don't become schizophrenic; remain one, integrated, individual. And that's what sannyas is all about: a different lifestyle THE LIFESTYLE OF LET-GO.
