Fw: [MillionPaths] Maharshi - Right & Wrong

RIGHT AND WRONG

Q.: If it is a question of doing something one considers wrong, and thereby

saving some one else from a great wrong, should one do it or refrain from doing

it?

 

Bhagavan: What is right and wrong? There is no standard by which to judge

something to be right another to be wrong. Opinions differ according to the

nature of the individual and according to the surroundings. They are again ideas

and nothing more. Do not worry about them, but get rid of thoughts. If you

always remain in the right, then right will prevail in the world.

 

(The devotee was not satisfied with this answer and asked for further

elucidation.)

 

Sri Bhagavan then pointed out that to see wrong in another is one's own wrong.

The discrimination between right and wrong is the origin of sin. One's own sin

is reflected outside and the individual in ignorance superimposes it on another.

The best course for one is to reach the state in which such discrimination does

not arise. Do you see wrong or right in your sleep? Be asleep even in the

wakeful state, abide as the Self and remain uncontaminated by what goes on

around you. Moreover, however much you might advise them, you hearers may not

rectify themselves. Be in the right yourself and remain silent. Your silence

will have more effect than your words or deeds. That is the development of will

power. Then the world becomes the Kingdom of Heaven, which is within you.
