27. Morality Is An Understanding

We often feel guilty when we break some moral rules.

Be very clear! We can never be moral if it is based on guilt. If our behavior is based on guilt, all our morality is skin deep. It is time to mature. We are not going to be immoral if we understand that rules were created for our benefit.

We have three kinds of guilt. Some of these have a function in society. The first kind of guilt is created by our immediate family, our parents, and kith and kin. The guilt based on our greed and sex fall into this category. The second kind of guilt is created by social laws. When we break any of these laws, we feel guilty. We also feel fear about the repercussions of breaking the law. Our social guilt is based on fear. The third kind of guilt is our own creation. When we internalize the guilt for greed and fear, we create hurt and create new types of guilt for ourselves. If we calmly and deeply analyze whenever we are stuck or wherever we are stuck, we find that these three kinds of guilt will be operating.

However, if our morality will change based on circumstances, we are in trouble. For instance, if we know that there is no punishment in a country for murders; will we kill our neighbor? If we are going to an act, just because it is free, then, we can be sure that we are immature. We have not grown up.

Such a life is not worth living. We are far worse than dead people. At least dead people don't disturb others. But the living dead will always disturb others. We become living-dead if we have shifting values. And we are walking, breathing, not even dead.

Dead people don't disturb the living. Throughout the life of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has lived in grave yards. For nine years, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM walked length and breadth of Bharat. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM walked from Tapovan, in north Bharat to Kanya Kumari in Southern Bharat; from Ahmadabad in the west to Ganga Sagar, in the east. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has walked the length and breadth of Bharat. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM always stayed in graveyards. Nobody don't need to make or have an advance reservation here!

People always ask THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, 'Master, were you not afraid? Have you been disturbed by ghosts?' I tell them, dead people don't disturb others.

If our morality is based on greed and fear such a life is not worth living. Be very clear! We are worse than a dead person.

Morality is an understanding, a guidance that is right code of behavior at a given time. Live in the present moment and go beyond morality!
