Many times we justify our guilt by labeling it as irresponsibility, trying or finding some reason. When you do something and think about it and if you get a low feeling about it that is guilt. If you feel the intensity and integrity with authenticity, it is responsibility. If you are pulled to low energy at the thought of what you did, then it is guilt. But, if you feel good about it, then it is responsibility.
Falling into guilt is a clear way of escaping responsibility. We think, work not done and added to any reason is work done. We fail to understand that the reason in reality never exists. Similarly, trying to do something is like trying to be pregnant. We can be or not be pregnant, but never can we be trying to be pregnant. So we have to commit to the work or clearly state that it is not possible for us to take up.
Responsibility and our choices- when something is told to you, if you take full responsibility of deciding whether it is right or wrong, you can avoid all guilt feelings. If we don't take responsibility of our decisions we feel discontented whether we do the action or not. Submit yourself to the outer world (be vulnerable) and take responsibility for your inner space. Then there is no question of guilt. Most of our ailments are due to psychological disturbances where guilt plays a major role. Most of the time, our energy flow gets blocked because of guilt.
Acceptance is a wonderful tool of redemption from the pull and push between the past and future. With acceptance we fall in to the present straightaway. Accept all guilt, all mistakes and all failures. Even if you cannot accept, accept that you cannot accept. You will then relax and guilt will drop from your mind.
##
Make them aware of the differences between guilt and responsibility, how acceptance is the beautiful way to come out of guilt.

- v What happens when you are forced to do something?
- v What is responsibility?
- v Name some of your responsibilities
- v What happens when we accept our guilt?
- v What is the meaning of acceptance?
- v How do you feel when you are responsible for what you did?
- v What happens to our energy flow when you feel guilty of something?
Accept all guilt, all mistakes and all failures, learn from them, don't repeat them again. Once we are caught in those imposed desired ideals, we can never relax and enjoy the journey of life. Accept and live in bliss.
