CONSCIENCE🔗

When you start internalizing the
laws of society, you create a deep
wound in your being. You
destroy your innate intelligence.
According to me, children can be
given a set of rules initially so
they don't move from the path of
consciousness. But soon they have
to be given the understanding of
life and the need to operate from
consciousness instead of
conscience. If you live with
consciousness, you will
automatically live a moral life. To
start understanding the need to
live with consciousness, just look
into your morality.

Morality is only skin
deep, whereas
consciousness comes
from the very being.
Your consciousness tries
to break through your
conscience. Your
consciousness
continuously fights with
your conscience.
Conscience is societal.
Consciousness is natural.
Conscience is a poor
substitute for
consciousness.

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
can impose morality on him
based on fear or greed. But for
you, it is time to grow up. You
are not kids anymore. Just stand
up with consciousness.

“When I say
consciousness, I
mean the
intelligent energy
of your being”

Make them aware of the
importance of rules; and
the necessity of
understanding why we
are following it.

CONCLUSION:
If we live with consciousness we will
automatically live a moral life.
Follow the rules by understanding
the reason behind it.
