Rising Above

He who has risen above good and bad does not refrain from doing something he feels is right even if society scorns him. He acts naturally like a child does, living in that particular moment. The wisdom to differentiate right from wrong will be naturally imbibed in him independent of scriptural teachings. The laws of the world cannot govern him.

He has performed all worldly duties assigned to him and has thus risen beyond Karma. And so he commands the respect of all the five elements of nature.

A plain bamboo does not command any worth. Whereas when it gets crafted into a flute, music wafts through it. Similarly as long as a human being is wooden, with no finesse, he commands no respect. It is when God chooses him as His instrument that the human form gains significance.

If persons accept you, let them, if they want to condemn you, again let them. Why bother? What really matters is what you think about yourself.
