Be Careful

Spiritual Discrimination

The Self is self contained, to give you the choice, to find out that you are not the body. I am talking about the ego self. It can choose.
It is not wise to walk around saying “I am ‘Consciousness” while you are hurting. While there is something wrong with your life.
You have got to work with the laws of karma to get rid of it. That is where you practice Loving Kindness, Joy, Purity, eating a pure diet.

Now. When you become realized, that does not give you licence to make an idiot out of yourself. That is something we should discuss. There are all kinds of people walking around today who believe that they are ‘realized’, and they are doing all kinds of foul things. And they say it does not matter.
They justify it by believing, “I can do anything I like because 'nothing exists'. But even if you have that thought, it shows that you are not 'enlightened'. If you were, there would be no one to think like that. In thoughts like that, “I can do anything I want”, you are contradicting yourself. You are saying “I”.

You are saying you can do anything I like. The “I” still exists.
There are many people I met who think they can do anything they like.
Because they believe that this gives them licence to do anything that they want.

But believe me, when Realization comes, you become very compassionate.
You become the embodiment of Humility.
You become a Joy for others, without thinking these things.
It happens by itself.

And there is no question about 'being enlightened' or not 'being enlightened'.
Those thoughts disappear. Those words disappear.

That is for the (beginner) to consider, being enlightened or not being enlightened.
I know someone who goes to adult movies, and he claims it doesn’t matter because, 'Who is seeing the movie?' That is how he justifies it.
So you have to be real careful.
Be real careful. If you have all kinds of bodily feelings and urges, and you think that you are enlightened, forget it.
People take this literally, like the 'divine madman' ( reference to a popular book) . They think that you can do all kinds of things.
Be very careful.
People ask, how do you feel when you become more realized?
I answer, you become more human.

Which means, you expand. You become Omnipresent. With Love.

The feeling of love multiplies. The feeling of humility increases a thousandfold. And you feel as if you are the feeling of the whole human race. So the only urges you get are loving urges. Urges of Humility.

Loving kindness. All of the other urges. The bodily urges.
They go away.
You do not use the words. You just melt.
Just by being you. You are an asset to the human race.
It is virtually impossible for you in that state to hurt anybody.
It is a state of total humility, total compassion, total loving kindness.
