Q: We are looking to destroy all our negativities and be reborn as a new person in these few days…
Understand: there can be no destruction on planet earth. There is always only transformation. All your so-called negative emotions like anger, jealousy and lust can be transformed into positive emotions like pure love, gratitude and compassion.
Society always teaches you to divide and destroy yourself. It never teaches you to become integrated. It places a wedge inside you between you and you, so that it can take control of you. It always talks to you in the language of lower and higher. It makes you think that you are inferior and makes you fight with yourself.
Society can rule you only if you are made to feel chaotic inside yourself. So it first makes you feel that you are no good and then comes up with remedies for it. That is why you start talking in this kind of inferior language.
A small story:
A man was suffering from a common cold.
He visited the doctor and asked for medicine.
It was just an ordinary cold. The doctor looked at him for awhile and said, 'Do one thing. Just go out for some time in the night and get the chill wind to touch you. Then come back.'
The patient was shocked. He said, 'But Doctor! I will catch pneumonia if I do that.'
The doctor said, 'Yes. I can cure pneumonia in no time.'
Society makes you become something and then teaches you ways to come out of it. Understand: there is no higher or lower; there is no good or bad. There is only transformation. When you learn to look in with awareness, automatically you will be transformed. This is always the master's approach. He never divides you; he always integrates you. He teaches you to look in and integrate.
The master never tells you that you are negative. There is no negative. What you call negative and positive are just two extremes of the same spectrum. Negative is not any physical entity for you to destroy. If you transform, you move in the spectrum towards higher positive energies, that's all.
As I said earlier, this transformation is possible if you are just open and receptive to what is happening here.
