Morality based on guilt is just skin-deep🔗

Break free from the past. The past is dead. Not only is it dead; it is a dead weight on your being. As long as you have guilt, you can never proceed; you can never have a deep blissful life. Be very clear, you can never be moral based on guilt. If you are based on guilt, all your morality is skin deep. It is time to be mature. You are not going to be immoral if you understand that rules are created for our own sake.

For example, you come to know that there is no punishment in this country for murders; do you think you will kill the next person? If yes, then be very clear that you are immature, you are not grown-up. Your life is not worth living because you are much worse than dead people. At least dead people don't disturb others. But living dead people always disturb others. You are living dead.

Throughout my life, I stayed in graveyards. Nine years, I walked the length and breadth of Bharat; from Tapovan to Kanyakumari; Ahmedabad to Gangasagar. Length and breadth of Bharat I walked. I always stayed in graveyards. Because, I don't have to make reservations! People always ask me, 'Were you not afraid? Have you been disturbed by ghosts?' I tell them, dead people don't disturb others. Only living people disturb others.'

If your morality is based on greed and fear, be very clear that your life is not worth living. You are much worse than a dead person. Let your morality be based on your understanding, on consciousness, not on conscience.

As long as you are based on dos and donts you are just a child. These dos and donts are buffer between you and enlightenment. As long as these buffers are there you can never reach enlightenment.

A total freedom, a total bliss, a total ecstasy happens the moment the buffers are removed and naturally enlightenment will reach you. You don't have to reach enlightenment. Simply, enlightenment will reach you.

Understand that guilt is the sure killer of intelligence. May you kill the guilt and experience the ultimate intelligence.

House-keeping in your dreams

Please understand: whatever you may do in the outer world, it is just housekeeping in the dreams. When you wake up, what will happen to all your housekeeping in dreams? It will simply disappear.

When I say housekeeping in the dreams, I don't say don't do housekeeping. Do it. But understand, so that you will not be perturbed by the housekeeping. Have a simple understanding that your whole life is nothing but housekeeping in dreams. Continue to do the same housekeeping with this clear understanding. It is more than enough to express enlightenment.

You don't need to work to suppress your greed, or to suppress your fear or to suppress anything. You need to work only in this one line or idea. Let this idea totally sink inside you: your whole life is just housekeeping in dreams. Feel, 'I am doing my housekeeping because I am enjoying it.' Over.

You played with toys. When you became 10 you threw away all the toys. Just because you threw away the toys, are you not giving toys to your kids now? Do you tell them, 'No, I always played and threw them away. Don't play.' No, you don't say that. You say, let him play as long as he wants till he matures.

The moment you accept and understand, 'Let me play the housekeeping in the dreams till I understand', the very acceptance will lead you to enlightenment. If you are not able to accept, accepting that I am not able to accept is enough to get you out of the rut of past and future.

Jumping between the past and future

You are pulled towards the past or future because you don't understand what is. Just the other day, one of my close inner circle devotee, he was asking, 'You are so casual, so innocent, so much playful. But any word, which you utter simply becomes true. How can so much of intelligence and intuition happen continuously?' He is my inner circle devotee.

Before coming to the class I was playing chess with the host's daughter. I had not finished when I had to come for the discpurse. I told her I would come back and play. The devotee asked me, 'How you can be so playful, so joyful? Your words are so clearly coming to reality!'

One thing you should understand: you are not able to experience that intuition because you are not able to fall into the present moment. You are always pulled by the past or future. Either you work and worry about the past or you work and worry about the future. Something or the other is continuously going on.

Time is like a shaft. Visualize this one thing and understand: time is like a shaft. You are either pulled to this side of the shaft or that side of the shaft. But, eternity penetrates time only in the present moment.

You never feel relaxed; a deep craving exists all the time, either to achieve something in the outer world or inner world. Please understand: the craving to achieve something in the inner world is also craving for future. Your craving for enlightenment is also worry about the future.

Acceptance - the way out

You never fall into the present moment. Eternity penetrates only the present moment. First thing: accept the whole thing of the outer world; accept the whole thing of the inner world. Whatever problems you have in the outer world and whatever problems you have in the inner world, accept the whole thing. As long as you don't accept, it is a problem.

Just try this small experiment:

Totally relax just for 3 days. Inside your inner world or outer world, 3 days if you live a satisfied life, will you lose all your wealth in just three days? Surely not! In three days you are not going to lose anything. Why don't you give it a try? Just 3 days, sincerely, utterly, 100%, drop, accept.

If you are not able to accept 100%, accept that I am not able to accept 100%. Even the acceptance that I am not able to accept myself in the inner world and outer world will make you drop from the rut of being pulled between past and future.

The moment you understand, 'I am not able to accept my reality. What can be done?' even the very push and pull will become your reality.

Anything, if you accept, you will simply fall into the present moment. The moment you fall into the present moment, the time shaft will become simply a servant for you. As long as you are below the time shaft, it will rule you. You will be pulled or pushed by the time shaft. The moment your consciousness is raised to the present moment, you will see that you are penetrating the time shaft.

When you penetrate the time shaft, the future is also clearly known to you. The past is also clearly known to you. Tremendous realization comes to you that the time shaft is only your projection! Just for 3 days try it as experiment: if you can fall into the present moment, relaxing the headaches related to the outer world and inner world, in three days you will have a glimpse: what is life? What does it mean to live in the present moment? Such ecstasy, such a different space; such different life.

Just for three days, don't try to alter anybody in the outer world. You lived based on your philosophy for the last 30 years. Give me just three days for a trial. You will see when you experiment with these great techniques how they work miracles in your being, how they start working alchemy in your being.

If you are not able to be sincere, accept that you are not able to be sincere. Even that sincerity is enough. You will start seeing a different space in you. That different space is what I call Nithya(*Eternity*).

Many women face the guilt of killing a life when they go through an abortion. Please understand: when they decide to get aborted their intelligence was at that level. If their intelligence gets updated it is not their mistake.

A simple understanding: what makes you happy and people around you blissful is moral. What makes you and others suffer is immoral. If something makes you happy and others suffer there is something wrong in your understanding.

What makes others suffer will also make you suffer. Religions cannot define morality; each religion has its own rules.

According to the Vedas, life happens just before birth. Till then it is the mother alone. Only 3 kshanas before birth Abhimanyu was born. The body records the memories; what kind of body you create will attract the right soul. Unless you are mature enough you should not give birth to a child. Why bring another life and make that child suffer? If you do not have a child you have not sinned.

Once, a guy came to me and was complaining, 'I am suffering. I have 14 children.' I asked him why he chose to have so many children. He replied, 'Why? God gave me!' We do all that we want in the name of God and use Him as our 'dustbin' literally. We do all nonsense and place responsibility on him.

So also, the guilt related to extramarital affairs. Be very clear: extramarital affairs show disrespect to another being. You have no right to disrespect. Will you let the other person do it too?

What is the reason for relationship? Man is centered on muladhara, woman on swadishtana. Man promises before agni (fire as the representation of God), 'I shall give you security and release you from insecurity.' She promises to release him from the samskara of lust. Both decide to liberate the other from their samskaras. Now you play on the weakness of the other person. Each tortures the other person. Vedic marriage is sacred. Knowing the other person's weakness should make you compassionate.

A mature person cannot disrespect another person like a commodity. If you see your wife as a being, you will realize that she has contributed so much in your life. You will never think of extra marital affair. It is a disrespect for your own body and inner space. People who sell their body have no respect for themselves. You reduce spirit to matter.

When man has insecurity the woman becomes a mother. When woman is centered on fear the man should play father.
