The psychological illness due to guilt🔗

Guilt is the sure killer of intelligence. According to me, guilt is the worst killer of intelligence.

Guilt will never let you move in your life.

Once, one of our devotees had a tumor at the end of her spinal cord; near the root chakra. For twenty years she suffered. She came to me complaining, ' Please help me, heal me. I am suffering with this tumor for so many years.'

And she said, even after surgery, it came back. I started talking to her slowly to trace the origin of the problem. Finally, she opened up and started weeping.

I asked her, 'Do you have any guilt related to your sex energy?' She slowly opened up and started weeping. She said she was abused when she was very young. When she was a kid, she was sexually abused. One of her close relatives abused her for so many years.

And that guilt stayed with her and she said, 'I started hating that part of my body. I started feeling that part of the body should not exist in my body. I felt that part to be not part of my body. That is not my being. My hatred towards that person turned towards my own body.'

When you start hating some action, you start hating that part of the body also. Her hatred became so deep. I was speaking to her. Slowly, slowly she opened to me. When she brought the guilt out, I started talking to her. She came out of the guilt. She was psychologically healed. I explained to her how this is a usual thing, which is happening.

Now, they say one in four are getting sexually abused, especially in America. I read a report just the other day; one in four! Of course, kids don't open up. Kids don't tell you. Anyhow, she was psychologically healed, when I explained the nature of all these things. And you will be surprised, in just 10 days, simply the tumor disappeared!

I gave her a small meditation technique: to meditate on that area. I told her, 'Express your anger towards him. Weep, shout, cry, hit. Close the doors, take a pillow, imagine that it is him, and weep, cry, shout and hit. After that sit silently, feel that part of your body is also your body. Stop hating that part of the body.'

You will be surprised; in just 10 days the tumor disappeared. It never came back. Difficult to understand but it is the truth.

Same thing happens in our life psychologically. It is not that you always get physical ill health. Psychologically you get disturbed. Most of the time, your energy gets blocked based on your guilt. You have psychological illness because of your guilt. If you look deep, wherever you have fear, wherever you are not able to move, wherever you are not able to take decision, there will be some guilt.
