Let go of what is over🔗

Listen!

By nature, you are hardwired to move towards the future. The only mistake you make is that you move towards your future without taking ownership for it. Just move towards your future with responsibility. Then you are on the right track - you are moving towards enlightenment.

Because you moved towards your future with so many fantasies, but without taking the responsibility to fulfil them, you have faced failure in the past. Now, the failures of your fantasies occupy your inner space so much that you are lost in the past and the guilt of the past. When you do not move with responsibility towards your future, your past will naturally be filled with guilt - like the wasted pages of your biography.

I tell you, your smile and laughter mean that you are taking ownership for your future! Your long face means you are lost in trying to own your dead past! Whenever your face has a smile, your consciousness and cognition are moving towards the future. It means that you are reminded of the possibility of life. The truth of your Possibility is constantly there in your cognition.

Hold on to the forward-moving foot of Kalabhairava, the Lord of Time. Don't hold on to the back leg and try to pull him back! If you hold on to the back leg, Kalabhairava will simply kick you away and move on. Instead, hold on to the leg that is moving forward - Kalabhairava will bless you and take you forward.

Listen! Do not commit the crime of holding on to the past and trying to own it. Keeping a dead person's photograph is okay - not the dead body itself! Each incident in your past that you are clinging to is like one dead body clinging to you. If you own twenty such dead bodies, what will happen to you?

Listen: your past has no future. Don't waste your life holding on to it! The more you realize that your past has no power over your future, the more you are free. When J. Krishnamurti says, 'Freedom from the known is real freedom,' this is what he means. Freedom from the past is the ultimate freedom!

You need to feel responsibility towards your future, not fear. Fear of the past destroys your future. Fear of the future happens when you are not aware of the results that your actions can bring. When you take responsibility for your future, you will neither have fear nor have greed, because you will be aware of your actions and their consequences.

Each incident in your past that you are clinging to is like one dead body clinging to you. If you own twenty such dead bodies, what will happen to you?
