00:00From today, I start observing myself.
00:03All the things, all the actions, let's say they are headed in the wrong direction, I can see those actions.
00:10Some guilt will come automatically that why am I doing this?
00:16How will I deal with that?
00:17No, even the guilt is not automatic.
00:20Even the guilt is a programmed guilt.
00:23You are supposed to feel guilty if you do all this.
00:27You look at the little kid.
00:30Or you look at the animal.
00:32They have not been programmed yet.
00:34So the little kid would spill the milk and not feel guilty at all.
00:39But as the kid grows up continuously, he would be told, you are a bad baby if you do this.
00:48And if you are a bad baby, I won't love you.
00:53If you are a bad baby, you would be punished.
00:58So guilt too is a form of conditioning.
01:01Guilt is not innate.
01:02Guilt is not your own.
01:04You have been programmed to feel guilty.
01:06Therefore, disown the guilt.
01:08If you do something right, if you do something right, and even in that you feel guilty, very boldly disown
01:17the guilt, declare to yourself, no, I won't admit this guilt.
01:21No, something within me wants to put me down, something within me wants to cage me and cage me by,
01:30by the guilt feeling.
