00:00It's too heavy. How? What? I don't even know how to phrase this question. All I know is children do not come with manuals without instructions.
00:12Of course, it's a matter of guilt. But let that guilt be real and deep and transformational. When guilt is real, it becomes an agent of change. When guilt is superficial, it becomes an agent of defense. What we commonly do to our kids is the complete story of our life. We are continuously doing that. That is not possible.
00:35So, religion is the very art and science of consciousness, is it not? Is it not? If your decisions, your acts are not coming from your consciousness, how do you claim to be religious?
00:48We always say lie to it and we say that lie is truth, hundred times to our mind. And say, no, this is the truth. Actually, we don't want to accept the truth. And we just hide behind that, sir.
00:59Wish you stay here. You stay here. Don't let this go. There was this Hindi movie, that's your very center. It's probably a blessing when we commit blunders that can no longer be hidden, justified or rationalized. We need to commit blunders. Only then we'll be forced to admit to ourselves that we are operating from a wrong center.
01:26These are opportunities of redemption, repair, everything. Honestly, omission. Yes, yes, that's the only thing that's needed. Acknowledgement. Acknowledgement. Acknowledgement. And a complete acknowledgement, not a partial one.
01:41You have to see that you are operating from fundamentally the wrong point all your life. Therefore, you need colossal blunders. Now it's the dinosaur in the room. You cannot hide it nor can you avoid looking at it.
01:56Can we undo that within us right now?
02:00Namaste Acharya Ji. Namaste everyone. Thank you.
02:05Sometimes couples who are also parents exhibit their disagreements or arguments in the presence of their children, which may cause mental health issues unbeknownst to them, the parents.
02:22And later on, when they do become aware, they feel guilty. And this guilt gets harbored in them as long as a lifetime or beyond. I'm not aware.
02:34It's too heavy. How? What? I don't even know how to phrase this question. All I know is children do not come with manuals without instructions. How? Thank you.
02:55I mean, let that guilt remain. Because we indeed are guilty.
03:04You bring a life to the world, often in the most unconscious way possible.
03:14And then your impact, your impression just distorts things even further for the girl or the boy.
03:27Of course, it's a matter of guilt. But let that guilt be real and deep and transformational.
03:39When guilt is real, it becomes an agent of change. When guilt is superficial, it becomes an agent of defense.
03:51You say, you know, I did that in ignorance. I didn't know much. So how can I be blamed? Not that kind of guilt.
03:58Or, I'm a good person. But I indeed did do bad things. But that was just a coincidence, a random slip, something unintentional.
04:10Not that kind of guilt. Let the guilt be complete. Complete because what we did or what we commonly do to our kids is the complete story of our life.
04:25We are continuously doing that. It's not just the kids who are at the receiving end of our violent ignorance.
04:34Aren't we equally violent towards everything and everybody? Just that in the case of kids, it shows up in the most conspicuous and brutal way possible.
04:43Otherwise, our unconsciousness, by definition, is violent.
04:48So when that complete guilt is there, then it becomes a factor for transformation of complete life.
04:58Every single relationship. Not just our relationship with the kids.
05:03I mean, yes, yes, of course. Kids are very vulnerable, more vulnerable.
05:07And what we do to them is very reprehensible because they are also hopelessly dependent on us.
05:13And in some way, we betray their trust. Yes, of course.
05:17But the same unconsciousness, does it also not find expression in our relationship with our friends, with our pets, with our spouses, with the planet in general?
05:28Or are we selectively unconscious? No, we are unconscious. Towards everything. Towards everything.
05:37But when it comes to kids, oh they are, they are so little, so feeble and also so cute that you feel very upset at having done to them a few bad things.
05:51If only you discover that you have indeed done a few bad things. A lot of parents never discover that.
05:57Even if they do discover that, they never accept that. They never accept that.
06:00It takes a lot of courage to accept that we have not been fair to our kids.
06:05But the thing is, you cannot be fair because you are unconscious.
06:09And that's the way of our life.
06:12How do you be fair?
06:13Is justice or fairness or love possible from an unconscious state?
06:22No.
06:24Before the kids came,
06:28there was the moment
06:30of impregnation.
06:34Was that a conscious moment?
06:37Before the meeting, there was the moment
06:40of
06:41wedding.
06:43Was that a conscious decision?
06:47Before the wedding,
06:48maybe there was a period of courtship.
06:51Was that conscious courtship?
06:55It's a series
06:56of unconscious
06:58acts.
07:00And it doesn't stop with the kids.
07:04It continues
07:05all our life.
07:08If the guilt is complete,
07:09it will show you the completeness
07:11of your unconsciousness.
07:15If the guilt is not complete,
07:17maybe it will make you spiritual.
07:20And you will go to some place of worship
07:22or some Babaji
07:23or follow some method
07:24and say,
07:25you know,
07:25now I am a decent woman.
07:28Remaining who you are,
07:29you will pretend you are a decent woman now.
07:32While you are much the same
07:34as what you have been all your life.
07:38Let the guilt
07:39totally incinerate you
07:41from within.
07:43If the guilt is actual,
07:45it will not allow you to remain
07:47the person you have been.
07:48then it's not just a relationship
07:51with your kids
07:52that would change.
07:53It's a relationship with
07:54yourself
07:55and the entire world.
07:59That's the kind of guilt we need.
08:01Not selective guilt.
08:03Not superficial guilt.
08:04You know,
08:08I am otherwise a great father,
08:10a great human being.
08:12I am a great boss
08:14or I am a great employee.
08:17I am also a very religious person,
08:19you know.
08:21Just that I have not
08:22been
08:23kind or fair
08:26or responsible
08:27towards my daughter.
08:28Sir,
08:29that is not possible.
08:31Not possible to be religious
08:33and not be fair
08:34and yet be fair
08:36to your daughter.
08:38But you are saying,
08:39everything else is alright.
08:41Only in this particular segment
08:43of life
08:43have I gone wrong.
08:44Not possible.
08:46Not possible.
08:49And what else
08:51can be a mark
08:52of your irreligiosity?
08:53than your deformed
08:58relationship
08:59with your kids.
09:00Tell me, please.
09:01We say,
09:02you know,
09:02we are religious people.
09:07We value
09:08sacredness.
09:11We believe in God.
09:17And then look at the world
09:18and see how it traumatizes
09:20its kids.
09:21What kind of
09:22religiousness is this?
09:23How can you be religious
09:26if that does not
09:28show up in your
09:28relationships?
09:30In your decisions?
09:32Religion is the very
09:34art and science
09:34of consciousness.
09:35Is it not?
09:36Is it not?
09:38If your decisions,
09:39your acts
09:40are not coming
09:41from your consciousness,
09:42how do you
09:43claim to be religious?
09:45Actually,
09:46we hide behind
09:47those words.
09:48We hide behind
09:49words.
09:49Yes,
09:50that's true.
09:51Sorry,
09:51sir,
09:51my name is
09:52Alikaf.
09:52Yes,
09:53yes,
09:53yes,
09:53yes.
09:53Okay,
09:54good afternoon
09:55to everybody.
09:56I just say,
09:57we hide behind
09:57these words
09:58and we just
09:59justify ourselves
10:00that what we have
10:00done is right.
10:02And we always
10:03say lie to it
10:03and we say
10:05that lie is truth
10:06hundred times
10:07to our mind
10:08and say,
10:08no,
10:08this is the truth.
10:09Actually,
10:09we don't want
10:10to accept the truth
10:11and we just
10:12hide behind
10:12that,
10:13sir.
10:17Wish you
10:17stay here.
10:19You stay here.
10:21Don't let this go.
10:22Don't let this go.
10:23I'm a decent
10:31person.
10:32In fact,
10:32my guilt
10:33comes from
10:34my assertion
10:35that I'm
10:36otherwise a
10:37decent person.
10:38I went wrong
10:39only in this
10:39one particular
10:40case.
10:40No,
10:41sir.
10:42Your very
10:42center is
10:43misplaced.
10:48There was
10:48this Hindi
10:49movie there.
10:50Galti
10:51se mistake
10:51ho gaya.
10:52Yes,
10:52sir.
10:52No,
10:53no.
10:53No,
10:53not
10:54galti
10:54se mistake
10:55ho gaya.
10:56That's
10:56your very
10:57center.
10:57It's not
10:58accidental.
10:59It's not
10:59random.
11:01It's not
11:01an one-off
11:02slip.
11:05That's
11:06the whole
11:06story of
11:07your life.
11:07That's
11:08why I'm
11:08emphasizing
11:08on the
11:09word
11:09complete.
11:15And
11:15when you
11:16see that
11:16a new
11:17story
11:18unfolds.
11:19Now,
11:20it's not
11:20just a
11:21relationship
11:21with your
11:21kids
11:22that is
11:22renewed.
11:24Now,
11:24it's
11:25your
11:25relationship
11:25with
11:25yourself
11:26that's
11:26different.
11:28Very
11:28different.
11:28Not just
11:29different.
11:30Separate plane
11:30altogether.
11:38Sometimes,
11:39times, I
11:41observe,
11:41probably,
11:43it comes as
11:49an opportunity
11:52when we make
11:54seriously big
11:55mistakes.
11:57Mistakes.
11:59Mistake.
12:00because the
12:03smaller ones
12:04we are
12:04adept at
12:05concealing the
12:06smaller mistakes.
12:07No?
12:08Nothing
12:08happened.
12:09No, I was
12:09alright.
12:10Not my
12:11fault.
12:12What can I
12:13do?
12:13I'm under so
12:13much of
12:14pressure.
12:15Not my
12:15fault.
12:16We are
12:16very skilled
12:17at concealing
12:18the little
12:19mistakes.
12:19mistakes.
12:21It's
12:22probably a
12:22blessing
12:23when we
12:24commit
12:25blunders.
12:27Blunders that
12:27can no longer
12:28be hidden or
12:30justified or
12:30rationalized.
12:32We need to
12:33commit
12:33blunders.
12:34only then
12:38we'll be
12:38forced to
12:39admit to
12:39ourselves that
12:40we are
12:41operating from
12:42a wrong
12:42center.
12:45Blunders.
12:47That's why
12:48in the
12:49history of
12:49spirituality
12:50there have
12:52been turning
12:53points when
12:53man has
12:55killed
12:56his saints,
13:01his teachers,
13:03his prophets.
13:04Because you
13:06are anyway
13:07always hurting
13:09your sages,
13:12your saints,
13:13your thinkers,
13:14your philosophers,
13:15you're always
13:16hurting them.
13:18But that
13:19can be kind
13:20of swept
13:21under the
13:21carpet.
13:23No, no,
13:23no, it
13:24was a little
13:25bit of hurt,
13:26not much,
13:26nothing more.
13:28But when
13:28you actively
13:29kill a
13:30Socrates,
13:32that's when
13:32you cannot
13:33escape the
13:34situation.
13:35That's when
13:36you are
13:36forced to
13:37confront
13:37your
13:38brutality.
13:40So that's
13:41a great
13:41opportunity.
13:45There could
13:46have been
13:46no Christianity
13:47without the
13:48crucifixion.
13:52So blunders
13:54and gross
13:57exhibitions of
13:57evil are
13:58in some sense
13:59a good
14:00good opportunity.
14:04In fact,
14:05probably there
14:05could have
14:05been no
14:06Plato had
14:07Socrates not
14:07been poisoned.
14:08are you
14:15getting it?
14:17Yes, yes.
14:18Thank you, sir.
14:19So these
14:20opportunities are
14:22opportunities of
14:23redemption,
14:24repair?
14:25Everything.
14:26Everything.
14:27Once the
14:27cognition has
14:29been ruined.
14:29Yes, yes.
14:30That's the
14:30only thing
14:30that's needed.
14:31Acknowledgement.
14:33Acknowledgement.
14:34Acknowledgement.
14:34And a
14:35complete
14:35acknowledgement,
14:36not a
14:36partial one.
14:38You cannot
14:38say, you
14:39know, only
14:39on that
14:40day, only
14:41in that
14:42event, only
14:43with that
14:43person did
14:44I go
14:44wrong.
14:45You have
14:45to see
14:46that you
14:47are operating
14:47from fundamentally
14:48the wrong
14:49point all
14:50your life.
14:53Therefore,
14:54you need
14:54colossal
14:55blunders.
14:56Colossal
14:57blunders.
14:59And then
15:00those colossal
15:00blunders are
15:01difficult to
15:01hide.
15:03Now it's
15:03the dinosaur
15:04in the
15:04room.
15:06You cannot
15:07hide it,
15:07nor can
15:08you avoid
15:08looking at
15:08it.
15:10Now it
15:11becomes
15:12unavoidable.
15:13Now you
15:14have to
15:14admit that
15:16you are
15:16indeed
15:17fundamentally
15:18in the
15:19wrong.
15:20So when
15:21such a
15:21thing happens,
15:22when our
15:23acts of
15:24ignorance
15:25harm,
15:27a loved
15:27one,
15:28especially
15:29a little
15:29kid,
15:30we cannot
15:31go back
15:33to the
15:33past and
15:34undo it
15:34there.
15:35But there
15:36is something
15:36within us
15:37that can
15:38be undone
15:38right now.
15:40That's the
15:41opportunity.
15:42Can we
15:42undo that
15:43within us
15:44right now?
15:45And then
15:45unscripted
15:49things happen.
15:50So please
15:51elaborate.
15:52When the
15:53guilt
15:53incinerates
15:54you,
15:55please elaborate
15:55on that.
15:56Which means
15:57you are
15:57no more
15:57the same
15:58person who
15:59would get
16:01into things
16:02she needs
16:03to be
16:04further guilty
16:06of.
16:10There is
16:10somebody sitting
16:11within me.
16:12I identify
16:12with that
16:13one,
16:13right?
16:14I have
16:15given that
16:15one my
16:16own name.
16:18What's
16:18your name
16:18please if
16:19you may?
16:19Karishma.
16:20Karishma.
16:20So there
16:21is somebody
16:21within and
16:22I call that
16:23person that
16:23thing that
16:24being as
16:25Karishma.
16:26Karishma.
16:26Right?
16:28Now that's
16:28the criminal.
16:30That's the
16:31guilty one.
16:32And criminal
16:32in the sense
16:33of being
16:33unconscious.
16:35That's the
16:35only crime.
16:36That's the
16:37mother of
16:37all crimes.
16:38If you are
16:39unconscious,
16:40anything and
16:40everything that
16:41you do will
16:41be a crime.
16:43Crime is not
16:44an isolated
16:45event or
16:45activity or
16:46happening.
16:47Crime is
16:48who we
16:48are.
16:50The one
16:50sitting within
16:51that I call
16:51as Karishma
16:52is the
16:52criminal because
16:53she is
16:53unconscious.
16:55Classically
16:55that's called
16:56the Ahankar,
16:56the Ego.
16:59That's the
16:59first criminal.
17:01That's the
17:01first criminal
17:02because it
17:02has stolen
17:02something.
17:03It has
17:04stolen your
17:04name.
17:06That's not
17:06who you
17:07are.
17:07But that
17:08one has
17:08taken your
17:08name.
17:09It calls
17:09itself the
17:10Atma.
17:10I am
17:11the Truth.
17:12It calls
17:13itself Karishma.
17:14It's not
17:14Karishma.
17:14You are
17:15somebody else.
17:16That's what
17:16entire Vedanta
17:17is about.
17:17Your real
17:18identity.
17:19You are
17:19not the
17:20one sitting
17:20within.
17:20You are
17:21not the
17:21criminal
17:21obviously.
17:22The
17:22sages say
17:23you are
17:24the sons
17:25and daughters
17:26of immortality
17:27itself.
17:28How can
17:28you be
17:28a criminal?
17:29No
17:29possibility.
17:31But the
17:31criminal
17:31within us
17:32has stolen
17:32our
17:32identity.
17:34Now this
17:35criminal
17:36whatever it
17:36does will
17:37be a crime.
17:42So what
17:42is meant
17:43by incineration?
17:44Get rid
17:44not of
17:45the crime
17:45but of
17:45the criminal
17:46itself.
17:47Otherwise
17:50you will
17:50be fighting
17:51crimes in
17:51isolation.
17:52You know
17:53here I
17:53went wrong
17:53with this
17:54person.
17:54Let me
17:55repair the
17:55damage.
17:56In this
17:57particular
17:57transaction
17:58I did
17:58something
17:59unjustified.
17:59Let me
18:00apologize.
18:01Here in
18:02this matter
18:02I am
18:03again
18:03erring.
18:04Let me
18:04correct.
18:05This
18:06kind of
18:06isolated
18:07fragmented
18:07approach
18:08will not
18:08work because
18:09the criminal
18:09will stay
18:10safe.
18:11So
18:11incineration
18:11means I
18:12am not
18:13fighting the
18:13crimes
18:14anymore.
18:15I am
18:16destroying
18:16the
18:16criminal
18:17itself.
18:19That's
18:20incineration.
18:22Yeah.
