What is Morality? (Contd.)
Morality is nothing more than being available only to the Beloved.
It has nothing to do with sex and freedom, and all this nonsense - Bourgeois
ideas! It is available only to the beloved. In spirituality, this is the
relationship between the Master and the disciple. The lover sees only
the beloved, the Master, listens only to the Master; reads only what the
Master writes; follows only the Master. But today's abhyasis, they go
to some other place, "Oh, your Master is like this?" No, no,
no, Chariji. I have doubts in my mind." So they have given their
ear to another person - their love is shattered. Doubt comes; there is
no more love.
God does not give anything like that. And if you know that, you avoid
excesses in any field, keeping the reserve for yourself to be used in
a better way, then you become really moral because you know that when
you play around you are playing with yourself. When you deplete your resources,
you are depleting yourself. When you misbehave, you are misbehaving with
yourself, fundamentally. And if this wisdom dawns, morality comes automatically.
The morality which says that I have this and this and this and I must
use it to the best benefit of those who are in this world with me, that
is the highest morality. At the top, we find everything meets: Divinity
is the same as morality, morality is the same as spirituality, it is all
one. So morality ultimately, is a total conservation of one's
total resources so that it is like confining an energy resource into a
capsule like what you have in the rockets - in one grand burst it can
take you from here to Eternity.
"Morality is that which keeps pushing me
up."
