    Sannyas is only for the intelligent because it
    requires more and more intelligence each day.
    The deeper you go, the more intelligence is
    required.

    But this is the beauty of the whole process,
    that when you accept the challenge more
    intelligence is created in you. You have it
    potentially. It manifests only when the
    challenge is accepted. Sannyas is a challenge
    to transform your potential intelligence into
    actuality, into a reality.

    Bravery is one of the most neglected qualities
    as far as religion is concerned. And it is very
    surprising, because without courage nobody
    can ever be religious. It is not dispensable, but
    it has been ignored, neglected. In fact
    cowardly people have been praised too much
    by the priests because the cowardly are ready
    to become slaves. They are ready to be
    exploited; not only ready, they are asking to be
    exploited, to be oppressed...
