Unhappy?
What may happen after Societal Conditioning!
Duty
becomes more important than Love.
Formality becomes more important than informality.
Manners become more important than truth.
Policy becomes more important than authenticity.
Once the child has learned these strategies, he is no more happy and when a child is no more happy then he needs some reason why he is unhappy. First we make him unhappy, then someday he will naturally ask, 'Why am I unhappy?'. Then you have to find reasons.
Hindus say, because
in your past lives you have done bad karmas.
Christians say, because of the original sin.
And so on and so forth.
Now look at the whole stupidity of the thing. First you destroy the capacity to enjoy. Then , naturally, when the child becomes non-enjoying he asks:
- "Why am I miserable?"
- "What has gone wrong?"
Naturally, you cannot say what has gone wrong, you may not even be aware of it. You cannot say that you put him on the wrong track. And you may not have put him on the wrong track knowingly. You may simpley have given it as heritage.
Each generation gives
its Neurosis to the next generation. Hindus
say, because in your past lives you have done bad karmas. Christians say,
because of the original sin.
"Why did I do something wrong in my first life?'
Because there is no other life to proceed it you cannot throw the responsibility on the previous life.
Why it happened in the first place?
It is absurd, nobody has the answer.
In fact, it has not happened in the Garden of Eden and it has not happened in your past life. It has happened in this life. And it has happened in your parent's house, and it has happened in your school, and it has happened in your society, and in your country. And it has been done by:
- PARENTS
- PRIESTS
- POLITICIANS.
These are the culprits, these are the criminals. They have taken your joy and they have given you wrong things. They have taken real, nutritious food from you and have given you lollipops. Even if it tasted good it does not satisfy hunger, fulfil you. Yes, ambition tastes good - it is a lollipop. Fame, success tastes good, but deep down you remain poor.
Look at the so-called 'rich' people. Look a little deeper in them and they are beggars. Worse than beggars. Sometimes it is possible that a beggar may have something inside him - a luminous being.
Buddha was a beggar!
Look at your Kings and rich people - dull and dead. No joy surrounds them. Just they go on, somehow dragging and you have been put on the same track.
Somebody is needed
to take you out of this conditioning...
...that's the function of a Master.
