4 mini-interviews on sannyas conditioning: second round by Ma Amlas

The second responder is Ma Amlas. You can meet her with bass guitar in any corner of the planet. And our questions are the same:
1. What can you say about "sannyas conditioning"?
2. Can you share something from your own experience?
3. If you want, add a short Osho quote you like about this topic.

Ma Amlas

What can you say about "sannyas conditioning"?

The juxtapositioing of these two words together is strange - its really impossible for them to be together as my understanding of sannyas is to see and go beyond my conditioning, any type of conditioning. I can see the desire of my mind to try and replace one set of rules of how to behave (which is how I see conditioning) for another. To live in the space each moment of deciding what is right or wrong for me in this moment is pretty scary for the mind to embrace. But I see this as the most intelligent way to live that I have come across so far in my life.

Can you share something from your own experience?

I have seen that at times of my life I have considered certain behaviour as "sannyas". For example if there is some sexual energy with someone I should go for it - and if I don't then there is some kind of fear stopping me and I should face this fear. As I get older I see the stupidity of this. In whatever situation a decision has to be made depending on how it feels to me. Whatever decision is made, there will be consequences, and when I have taken total responsibilty for my decisions, then I can also take total responsibilty for the consequences! And I see there are no "shoulds"!!

I have no special quote - I know that Osho can say all of this much more clearly and more poetically than I can!!
