Introduction
In our life we are neither taught nor allowed to have the confidence that you have an intelligence in you. Always you are given only guilt.
Only if you live with the guilt, you can be easily exploited. The society which is created based on power and politics, the social systems which is created by shathriyas and vaishyas, means , business people and politicians, naturally will create, naturally will have techniques only to keep people in guilt.
The personality which you are carrying which creates guilt in you, that is a pure lie.
This idea of guilt, idea of confession, all these things are cunning, subtle way to exploit human beings. It's a very cunning, subtle way to keep people under the control.
Guilt is the worst killer of intelligence. Guilt will never let you move in your life.
Anger, guilt is nothing but, you not waiting for the - not having the patience till the transformation in you happens.
You don't trust the transformation is possible in you. You don't have patience for the transformation to happen in you.
There will be a deep sense of guilt in you because it is the same mind which is working. You use strong words when you are in anger and once the anger dies down, the same sharpness which is emitted is turned inwards to create a deep guilt. The height of the anger and the depth of the guilt are equal. If the height increases, the depth increases as well.
The more you remember the negative decisions or your mistakes, the more you create a guilt. One thing you should understand, guilt will again and again attract the same bad instances in our life. Its like pain will attract the pain. Money will attract the money. Joy will attract the joy.
When we measure ourselves as a low person, when we create a deep guilt in ourselves
All your fear, all your greed, all your guilt, all these things are just because your energy taken away by the past memory
How To Overcome Guilt?
Trusting you can have transformation, transformation will happen in you, removes the guilt from you.
The past is dead. Not only it is dead; it is a dead weight on your being. As long as you have guilt, you can never proceed; you can never have deep blissful life. Be very clear, you can never be moral based on guilt. If you are based on guilt, all your morality is skin deep
In The Supreme Pontiff Of Hinduism Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam'S Own Words:
People ask me, 'Swamiji, what is this? You are pulling down the whole social structure. Then how can we all live morally?' I tell them, 'Be very clear, it is only for kids that you need a forced morality. For them you need to say, 'Keep quiet, I will give you candy.' Of course, nowadays kids reply, 'I am happy. I don't need your candy. Who cares for your candy!' For a child you can say that you will give candy and restrict him. You based on fear or greed. But up. You are not kids anymore. Just stand up with consciousness.
Why You Should Overcome Guilt?
Don't try to escape from your being. Whatever it is, whether it is guilt, low mood or depression, or whatever is reality, face it. Let us see. Who else can face if you are not ready to face it? If you don't want to be with your being, nobody else will want to be with you. So, be very clear, only you face the reality of your being; you will be able to be with yourself. So, you have to face. You have to be with the reality. You have to seek the truth. Whether today or tomorrow,
The moment you express your anger, your guilt also will be released. Anger and guilt are two sides of the same coin. They are two different kinds of the same coin. Anger is the wonderful way to release guilt. The moment you become angry with the person who created guilt in you, you will come out of guilt.
How Is Guilt Created?
By constantly remembering your past mistakes you will only create guilt, you will not develop yourself.
There are so many things goes on in your life, so many mistakes you do in your life; remembering those mistakes are no way going to make you rich, it's only going to create more and more guilt, that is no way going to help you. But by un-clutching from your past memories, you will assimilate the essence, experience of the mistakes.
We Alway S H A V E G U I Lt A B O U T O U R S E Lv E S . W E Don'T Respect Ourselves
We have some idea about how life should be, and we try to recreate or reproduce our imagination into reality. When we are not able to, we create a guilt. It goes on and on. It is a vicious circle.
You don't have enough energy because all your emotional energy is taken away by the past incidents or the people who are in your memory, either as attachment or anger or as guilt. Your whole energy, inner space is occupied.
The Negative Consequence Of Guilt
Guilt is like a rock. It blocks the flow; creates a whirlpool. Creates energy block. Any guilt you carry in your being is a blockage of energy. Just like a blood clot, it is an energy clot. All the voices, which are inside your mind, are the root for guilt. Any guilt will kill your intelligence. As along as you flow like a river, like a stream, you will be expressing extraordinary intelligence in your life. You will express a different kind of intelligence; a different kind of energy; a different kind of bliss. The moment you start creating guilt in you, the moment you are stopped in your free flow, you create energy clot inside your being; you create energy clot inside your mind. Especially, the older your culture, more is the guilt.
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.
How Do You Guilt Others?
Whenever you cannot make other understand what you are telling, you leave others with guilt.
Only when you cannot understand, you will not be able to make others understand…
Guilt, The Sure Killer Of Intelligence
Making metaphysical into physical is creating morality out of understanding. As long as they are understandings, they are nectar for your life. They create a tremendous intelligence in your life. The moment they are reduced to a superstitious belief, the moment they are reduced as a morality, they create deep guilt in you. And guilt is the sure killer of intelligence.
W H Y Y O U S H O U L D Not Have Guilt?
Guilt will kill you when you are alive. Look little deep. What is the root cause of guilt? It is our idea about right and wrong. Our understanding about what is right and wrong. Only from that, the guilt starts.
As Long As Morality Is Given To You Like A Spoon-Feeding, Not With An Understanding, You Create Two Things;
- you try your best to escape from it. 2) You create a deep guilt inside your being.
When you are given some rules based on the greed and fear, you start creating a deep guilt in you.
W H At Y O U D I D N ' T Know About Guilt
Guilt is the root for greed! As long as you have guilt, you can never enjoy anything.
How To Know If You Are Out Of Guilt?
When you get a certain guilt - the idea you have done something wrong, your skin glow drastically reduces! That is what in our tradition we mention again & again if this sin comes to you, you will lose your grace - means that shining of that skin will disappear, the aura will disappear. When people come out of guilt, their skin starts shining!
Introduction
Many times we justify our guilt by labeling it as irresponsibility, trying or finding some reason. When you do something and think about it and if you get a low feeling about it that is guilt. If you feel the intensity and integrity with authenticity, it is responsibility. If you are pulled to low energy at the thought of what you did, then it is guilt. But, if you feel good about it, then it is responsibility.
Falling into guilt is a clear way of escaping responsibility. We think, work not done and added to any reason is work done. We fail to understand that the reason in reality never exists. Similarly, trying to do something is like trying to be pregnant. We can be or not be pregnant, but never can we be trying to be pregnant. So we have to commit to the work or clearly state that it is not possible for us to take up.
Responsibility and our choices when something is told to you, if you take full responsibility of deciding whether it is right or wrong, you can avoid all guilt feelings. If we don't take responsibility of our decisions we feel discontented whether we do the action or not. Submit yourself to the outer world (be vulnerable) and take responsibility for your inner space. Then there is no question of guilt. Most of our ailments are due to psychological disturbances where guilt plays a major role. Most of the time, our energy flow gets blocked because of guilt.
Acceptance is a wonderful tool of redemption from the pull and push between the past and future. With acceptance we fall in to the present straightaway. Accept all guilt, all mistakes and all failures. Even if you cannot accept, accept that you cannot accept. You will then relax and guilt will drop from your mind.

Introduction
If you are caught in guilt, we can never feel connected to life. The only way to overcome guilt is to start melting with gratitude. When you accept things as they are you can experience the causeless happiness and blessings.
Gratitude is the fragrance than can pervade your inner space and replace the smell of guilt. With guilt it becomes impossible to celebrate life. Guilt sits on our heart like a rock. We become heavy and frozen. It does not allow us to be free to dance, sing, laugh and love. Enjoy every moment as every moment is auspicious. You are who you are. Just be in the the past and future.
Guilt creates a dent in our inner space but gratitude expands our inner space. Guilt is like being stuck in a whirlpool while surrender is the only way out of the whirlpool. Guilt happens due to reviewing the past incidents with updated intelligence.
When we surrender everything to the ultimate intelligence in gratitude, we lose the pattern that we have created from the past and are relieved of the guilt. When we have gratitude we will always have the opinion that the grass on our side is green. We have everything in us. Everything happening around us is precious and auspicious.
Goal :
To make the children aware of the concept of gratitude
Assessment:
- v What is gratitude?
- v Can we feel happy when we are holding on to guilt?
- v Do we feel light if we have guilt?
- v What happens when we let go the guilt?
- v What happens when we are thankful for the moment?
Accept yourself as you are, totally and unconditionally. The total acceptance will bring about an active and intense relaxation in which your natural intelligence will flower. Conclusion:
Materials Needed:
White sheet, spray painting brush, poster colors, water
Procedure:
Encourage the children to do spray painting or splash painting on the selected picture (picture related to guilt) or on the plain sheet and make designs with that. Give each child the materials needed. Children have to hold the brush with bristles facing down and spray with the other hand
Inference:
If the spray painting is done excessively on the sheet we cannot see the actual picture itself.Similarly guilt in the long run destroys our originality.

Preparation
Make the children sit in a circle.
Presentation
Explain clearly to the children that we are playing a game. In this game, each child has to utter a few things, some of which are lies and some are truths. The other children have to identify when a lie is being told by observing the facial expression of the child who is lying. All children can take turns and play this game.
Interpretation:
When we are lying, our facial expression will show it clearly. When we do something which leads to guilt we cannot hide it.
Social Conditioning Results In Guilt
When your social conditioning opposes the flow of your nature beyond certain limit the conflict which starts, results in guilt and which leads to frustration and finally depression
