    SANNYAS IS A REBELLION against both
    the past and the future.

    Man has either lived in the past or in the
    future, but never in the present. And the
    present is the only reality there is; nothing
    else exists. Existence knows only one time –
    that is now – and one space – that is here.

    But mind either lives in the past which is no
    more or in the future which is not yet. Mind
    exists in the non-existential, hence mind
    never comes across the reality; it cannot
    come by its very functioning.

    Sannyas is a rebellion against mind itself. It
    is a way of life in which mind is not the
    master, no-mind is the master and mind
    functions only as a servant. Mind actually is
    a mechanism; it is good as a beautiful
    device of nature, but the moment the
    servant becomes the master there is
    danger, great danger.

    Then your life is bound to be a mess, a
    chaos. The servant is blind, unintelligent,
    unaware...
