NATURAL RULES
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
By very nature you are searching for freedom. You never wanted to be encaged by any rules or any morality. When some morality is given to you as a rule, either you try to go beyond it or if you can't, you take revenge on the people who imposed the rule on you. You always take revenge. May be, you wait for a right time and take revenge on them. People again and again come and tell me, 'Swamiji, my son is not taking care of me.' Be very clear, your son may be the first enemy for you; you may be the first enemy for him because you have given him so many rules, so many regulations. Naturally, in one part of his mind he will have respect for you; the other part will always feel against you. The other part will be just waiting to take revenge on you. Naturally he will be against you, because you gave him rules and regulations.

FROM DOING TO BEING
And back
First understand the signs of your being and doing. See: in you there are two spaces, one is the space of being and the other, the space of doing. You know the doing because constantly you are doing. But you can't be doing anything unless you have a being, because only with being, you can do. Whether you are walking or sitting or standing or eating, you have to be, only then you can do.
Being is the root of doing. Being is the base of doing. You can't do without being. Whenever the being enters the territory of doing, you can jump from the space of doing to being. Understand very clearly: whenever the being enters the territory of doing, you have two spaces: one is being, another is doing. Your being, you would have never experienced, because you never stopped doing. Even in your sleep you are constantly doing; your dreams are doing.
The moment you stop doing, you fall into sushupti - deep sleep. The moment you are out of deep sleep, you again start doing. You don't stop doing at all. That's why you never experience being. Without doing, if you are aware, you will experience being. In your case, if you stop doing, you are unaware, unconscious, in deep sleep, never aware. If you are aware, you are doing. From the being space when your energy penetrates the doing space, that door opens, and you can just jump in. When this door opens, you can go out and come in also.

BECOME MATURE
Drop fear and greed
As long as your morality is based on fear and greed, be sure, you are a child. You are not mature. If you are really grown up, your morality should be based on understanding, not based on fear and greed. According to me, a mature person is one who lives a happy, blissful and quiet life without fear and greed. When you drop your fear and greed, a new kind of morality arises in your being; the morality which is not social morality; a morality which is not just skin deep. It arises out of your whole being.
