The Moral Man
A moral man is a repressed man
An impotent and unhappy man
He has to live at the minimum
He is always afraid
If he becomes too much alive
Then that which is repressed will
Start to assert itself
He never allows himself total let go
A moral man does not know freedom
The moral man never fits anywhere
He is a misfit
He does not look at what really is
He is very rigid
He cannot flow
Morality is a decoration of the ego
The moral have no courage or intelligence
Morality is comparative
To go beyond comparison is to become enlightened
Morality creates a division
The real becomes hidden
The outer becomes manifest.

Naturally Spiritual.
If you cannot be natural
Then how can you become spiritual
Spirituality is a higher state of being natural
The ultimate flowering of the spontaneous
One is happy when one is flowerlike
The idea of improvement comes from the ego
It is out of small things that great understanding arises
Drop waiting and start being
Waiting is a thought process
Being is existential.
Comparison
To compare yourself with somebody in anyway
Is violent
To carry the idea of comparison
You are carrying the seeds of illness
Which will create misery and hell
Heaven is an inner space where you live uncompared
Right now be that
Start living a unique life
With the feeling of being special
Ambition enters
Comparison, jealousy and conflict enters
And your whole life is wasted on this nonsense
The devil disappears the moment your judgement disappears
Comparison comes from the human mind.
Uniqueness
Uniqueness is non-violent
The very idea of being special
Means you have lost contact with yourself
The minute you accept your individuality
How can you not be happy?
When we compare
We are ungrateful
Never try to be special
Just express your uniqueness
Even after enlightenment
The uniqueness of the individual remains
Every flower is unique
Every snowflake different
Every poem the poets own creation
Try not to imitate
Try to be authentic
I know it is difficult
When we are brought up to be slaves
God loves variety
God loves individuality
There are millions of forms
And never a single repetition
Don't let love make you blind
Being unique is everybody's nature
Being special is relative
Comparison is misery's favourite friend
One should respect one's own being
An imitator is never a happy person
Because an imitator becomes untrue.
