![]() That’s what I call sin.Ī virtuous man is a man of many climates. Don’t become that that is being a sinner – at least, in my definition. ![]() Wherever he is he will be a dead weight, he will make people serious, somber, unloving, unliving. He will not enjoy his life and he will not allow anybody else to enjoy their life either. A man who has only a single note in his life is a monotonous man he is a poor man, a dull man. ![]() A man’s life should be a rainbow, an orchestra. A man’s life should be one of many climates, of many colors. Year round you can see that sometimes it is raining, sometimes it is hot, sometimes it is winter, sometimes there is sun and sometimes it is very cloudy. This is your life, live it – and live it in all climates, don’t try to fix the climate. Gone are those days of repression, gone are those repressed people. This is the new revolution that is happening all over the world, the new psychology of man. If you are not in harmony within yourself, how can you be in harmony with your wife, with your friend, with your husband, with anybody? First be in harmony with yourself – that means allowing whatsoever is to be the case. You are always giving in for harmony’s sake. When you are smiling you are not smiling when you say, “I love you,” you do not really mean it. It will be felt and it will hurt because all the time your woman knows that you are false. Making love to your wife you may think of other women and you will not be there. Your wife may not be there at all in your mind. You may be thinking of making love to some other women, or at least thinking of some other woman. Otherwise while you are making love you are not being reliable. When you are loving, you are loving you are not false, you are not pseudo. Who does not love an authentic person? Now she can trust you – when you are angry you are angry, you are not false, you are not pseudo. This will be difficult to understand but let me say it: if you are really angry with your wife she will be happy, happier than when you give in, because you are being authentic. If you are angry, then be angry, be totally angry. Outer harmony comes only when there is inner harmony. When you give in, you lose your inner harmony, and no outer harmony is created out of it. And that is what is being broadcast continuously – from your eyes, from your face, from your gestures, from everything. You will say something in words, it will be on your lips, but your being will deny it, contradict it. If you give in to your wife, she will never forgive you if you give in to your husband, he will never forgive you because your whole being will vibrate with antagonism. Harmony is missing from the very beginning. To give in means that you are reluctant but still doing something for harmony’s sake. It is better to be defeated it is better to be cursed than to give in. If you give in, you are giving in against yourself. “I am always giving in…” Then you are not in a let-go. If it goes south, good if it goes north, good if it does not go anywhere, good if it drowns you, good. You have to flow with the river wherever it leads. If the conflict brings misery, then that must be accepted. ![]() Whatsoever happens, there should be a total acceptance of it – both of the act and of the consequence. To move on the path of Tao is to move relaxedly. If existence wills the conflict to be there, then it must be that way. You would like to have no conflict but this is your ego. What can you do? Then the conflict must be accepted with great respect. “It is all jolly fine for everyone to do their thing but what should be the attitude when our ‘things’ conflict?” Let there be conflict. So the first thing is that you are not to impose anything upon yourself, otherwise you miss the path of Tao. When you relax and you do your thing – whatsoever it is, mind you, whatsoever, I say – then you are in harmony. It is difficult because you immediately create ideals. If conflict is your thing and you allow it, then that is harmony for you – because you will be in harmony with your nature. It has nothing to do with harmony it has to do with being in a let-go. If conflict is your thing, then let it be so. Reality cannot be deceived, and you have to suffer the consequences. You are deceiving nobody you only think you are deceiving them. A true conflict is beautiful – more beautiful, far more beautiful than an imposed harmony because deep down the conflict continues. Don’t try to impose any false harmony on top of it because false harmony will never be true it will never be satisfying. But harmony is not in itself my thing.įirst, if conflict is your thing, then let it be so. It is all jolly fine for everyone to do their thing, but what should be the attitude when our “things” conflict? I am always giving in for the sake of harmony and to do one's thing under constant threat takes the joy out of it.
