Drop guilt and become divine!
By Parammahamsa Sri Nithyananda
Society thrives when it is controlled. Spirituality on the other hand blossoms in freedom. When we live in a society, we follow its laws to help society to function smoothly. It is not human nature to follow laws. Even when we live in the society we are always breaking laws. We are looking for ways to break free.
Freedom is our true nature. We are totally and completely free from everything that binds us. Understand this, when we express this freedom, with the choices that we make we enter the spiritual path.
Society, however, finds a way to control us. It lays out many laws. We follow some of them when we are young. We are trained to do that. There is a danger in this. When we accept the laws of the society in our mind without any understanding, we create a deep wound in our being. We destroy our intelligence. We have begun to destroy what we are born with, our gift, our birthright.
Rules and regulations are only superficial. Our concepts of morality, at best, are narrow and shallow. Look at them with awareness. Our logic, our rules, our morality and society are only skin deep. They are just skin deep! Look deeper, farther beyond everything that changes and is superficial.
Our morality, like our concepts, keeps changing. Consider this idea called sin. In some religions, people believe that they are born sinners. They live their life, their entire life in fear of committing another sin and guilt. All that happens is that religious leaders have another tool to control people through the idea of sin and guilt.
Understand this! There is only one sin. Be clear about the original sin any human being can commit. The original and the only sin is ignorance. The ignorance of not realising the truth that we too are divine is the original sin. The depth of this ignorance guides every act in our life.
Awake from the ignorance! Be aware of this ignorance. Divinity is present within each being. Divinity is eternally present in each one of us. Our true nature is to be blissful.
To convert this into a belief that we are sinners and that we need to live in eternal guilt and sin is the principal sin of all times. This process wounds our being.
Society and religion condition us so that we are unable to honour and cherish the belief that each of us is a divine being. We are unable to experience the gifts that Existence showers upon us.
Drop the guilt of being in sin. Experience and express your inner divinity.
