BEING RESPONSIBLE -
ONLY WAY OUT OF GUILT.

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.

GOAL :
Make them aware of the
differences between
guilt and responsibility,
how acceptance is the
beautiful way to come
out of guilt.

ASSESSMENT:
❖ What happens when you are forced to do something? ❖ What is responsibility? ❖ Name some of your responsibilities ❖ What happens when we accept our guilt? ❖ What is the meaning of acceptance? ❖ How do you feel when you are responsible for what you did? ❖ What happens to our energy flow when you feel guilty of something?
CONCLUSION:
Accept all guilt, all mistakes and all failures, learn from them, don't repeat them again. Once we are caught in those imposed desired ideals, we can never relax and enjoy the journey of life. Accept and live in bliss.
