First in the Morning

In this book, Osho sometimes refers to “sannyas” or “sannyasins.” As Osho uses this term, sannyas simply means making a decision to bring self-awareness into your life, a commitment to give time to the exploration and celebration of the inner, as well as to the outer, ordinary, day-to-day concerns: “Sannyas is nothing but the change, the shift, the radical shift, from looking at oneself from the outside to looking at oneself from the inside. It is sitting inside and looking, not depending on others’ opinions, scriptures, but just watching yourself from your innermost core and asking, “Who am I?” And not depending on anybody else’s answer. One has to and one’s own answer, only that can be fulfilling.”
