I am what I am – whatever you
call. Or eg. if you call me a saint and if I know myself then I know if it’s
true or false. If it’s true, I’ll not feel elated because it is no achievement.
It is only what I am. And if it is false, then also I’ll not feel elated as I
know I am not saint inspite of you calling me one. So, whether you call me a
saint or a sinner, I am what I am. Your ‘calling me’ can’t disturb me either
way. Only when I am ‘image consicous’ will it affect me! Clear?
It was both yes and no. we
understood and yet didn’t seem to. We were still in daze. It had to sink
in. we need to process it, then
understand it, apply it and only when we experience it will we actually have
understood it!‘
“Can’t we judge one on morality
too?” asked Priya really agitated.
“One man’s good is other’s bad.
So is it with morality. Morality changes from place to place, time to time and
person to person. What’s immoral in India is considered moral in western world.
So, how can you judge someone on the grounds of morality.
Killing – nay even hurting others
is universally accepted as immoral. But, a soldier is given medals and
appreciated when he kills more number of people in war.
We judge a woman in flesh trade
but if you know that she was forced into it – you pity her. If you know she did
to save her parents’ life, then you would respect her. But, why never is a man
who is her customer judged? He never goes out of external compulsion. He goes
only to fulfill his lust. But, it is the women who is always judged. Isn’t this
one sided? Hypocritical? Wrong?
Like-wise morality has to
properly understood before judged and for that one should have clarity of
thought and that comes out of purity of thought, intent, selflessness,
detachment and righteousness. So, one should develop these qualities before
going on the path of ‘judging’ others”
