意识与良知
培养良知是完全没有必要的。所需要的是意识，而不是良知。良知是一个虚假的东西，是社会在你内在创造出来的，它是一种微妙的控制手段。社会教你什么是对的，什么是错的。它甚至在小孩有意识之前，在他们能够自己判断对错之前，甚至在他们还不知道发生了什么之前就开始教他们。我们依照自己的观念来限制他们，而所有这些观念都来自于父母、教士、老师、政客、圣人——所有这些混杂的观念放到孩子头脑里，就成了他们的“良知”。
因为这个良知，孩子的意识将永远无法成长。良知是意识的虚假替代品，而如果你满足于虚假的，你甚至从不会去思考那真实的。
这是欺骗。我们带大孩子的方式是非常具有欺骗性且丑陋的，它是一种反人性的暴力。那就是为什么成千上万的人无意识地活着，在他们有意识之前我们就给他们虚假的玩具来玩。终其一生他们都认为这就是让他们过上幸福生活的全部。终其一生他们都相信，如果他们遵循自己的良知就会被奖励，而如果违背自己的良知就会被惩罚。他们会受到惩罚也会受到奖励，不管是外在还是内在。每当你做什么，你的良知说这是错的，你就会感到内疚。你会受苦，你感受到内在的痛苦，你害怕，颤抖，它制造了焦虑。你害怕你可能会失去进入天堂的机会，你可能会掉进地狱，而那些有着无比的发明创造能力的圣人们则开始描绘天堂的快乐和地狱的痛苦！
这就是良知。良知是人随意捏造的。它只是给你固定的行为准则：“做这个，不要做那个”，而不是使你变聪明。
当人类放弃所有这些无意义的良知，开始帮助孩子的意识成长的那一天，将是人类真正的诞生，一个新的人类，一个新的地球。这样，我们就会帮助孩子们变得更聪明，每当有困难出现，孩子有足够的智慧去面对它，回应它。
记住，智慧并不是思考的问题。事实上，你就是想的太多。它是一个如何停止思考直接去看每一个你所面对的情况的问题。如果没有思想，那就没有障碍，你的眼里没有灰尘，你可以清晰地看见。
当这种清晰度在，就没有关于“好”和“坏”的问题。有这样的清晰，就会有一种无选择的意识。你就是很简单地做对的事，而不是很费力地去做。对于有觉知、有意识、很警觉的人来说，它是毫不费力的。他就是无法想像那不好的、邪恶的。你的全部意识就只是指向好的方面。
向善的洞见并不是头脑的一部分，但如果你只知道头脑，你会失去清晰度。无数的念头持续地在你头脑里移动，一天24小时都是交通高峰期，成群的思想继续着，云飘的如此之快以致于你完全隐没在云层之后。你的眼睛几乎是瞎的，你内在的敏感度完全被思想覆盖。
透过头脑你无法知道什么是好的，什么是坏的，你必须依赖他人。这是非常自然的，因为头脑就是一个依赖的现象，它依赖别人存在。它全部的知识都是借来的，头脑靠借来的知识存活。在每一种情况下它都希望有人来引领它。
你的整个人生都是被别人引导的，从最开始你就被父母告知什么是对的，什么是错的，然后是老师，然后是教士，然后是邻居——并不是说他们知道，他们也是从别人那里借来的。借了一世又一世，一代又一代。所有的疾病都遗传给了下一代，每一代都只是旧一代的翻版——一个投射，一个影子，没有自己的独特性。
因此你需要一个神，一个终极的向导。你不能够再依赖父母，因为随着长大你开始发现他们的虚假，他们的谎言。你开始明白，他们的意见不是完美的，他们也是会犯错的人。但小孩子相信父母就像他们不会犯错一样，这不是他们的错，这只是小孩子的纯真。他们信任爱着自己孩子的父亲、母亲，但最终，当孩子略微成熟一点就会知道，他们说的不全是真的。在内心深处你并不认同，会有怀疑存在。
在内心深处你会知道有些事情在一种情况下可能是好的，而在另一种情况下可能是不好的。有时即使是毒药也可能成为医药，而有时医药却成了毒药——你必须了解生命是不断变化的。
所以思考不能决定你的行为。这不是一个像逻辑结论一样可以决定的问题，它是一个无选择觉知的问题。你需要一个没有思想的头脑，或者说，你需要一个无念的头脑，只是纯粹的寂静，因此你能够直接地看向事情本身。出于这样的清晰，选择会自行到来，你并没有选择。你像佛一样行动，你的行为将会具有美感，你的行为将会具有真理，你的行为将会具有神的芬芳，你没有必要去选择。
你必须寻求指引是因为你不知道你内在的向导就隐藏在你内心深处。你需要找到内在的指引，那就是我说的观照，那就是我说的你内在的佛。你需要唤醒内在的佛，那么你的生命将会充满祝福，沐浴在幸福中。你的生命将会因为美好和神性而光芒四射，远远超乎你的想像。
这就像光，你的房间是黑的，只需要把光带进来。哪怕是一支小小的蜡烛，整个黑暗都会消失。而一旦点燃了蜡烛你就会知道门在哪，你不需要去思考：“门在哪里？”只有目盲之人才去思考门在哪里。眼亮之人自有光，并不需要思考。你想过“门在哪里”吗？就只是站起来走出去就好了。永远不要去想门在哪里，不要去摸索门，也不要用头去撞墙，就只是看，甚至连一个思想都不曾闪过，就只是简单地走出去。
当你超越头脑时，这是完全相同的状况。当云不在，太阳在天空闪耀，你不需要去想：“太阳在哪里？”当云遮住了太阳，你才会去想这个问题。
你的存在被思想、情绪、感觉所覆盖，而这些全部都是头脑制造的。只是把它们放在一边，那么无论你做什么都是对的——并不是说你要遵循某些经典，并不是说你要遵守某些戒律，并不是说你要追随某些精神领袖。指引自己的生命是你天生的权利，那就是生而为人的尊严，成为自己生命的向导。这样会把你蜕变成一只狮子，而不再是一只总是寻求别人护卫的羊。
但这几乎是所有人的问题，你们被人以什么是对什么是错设定了程序。
真理只会在你内在升起，没有人能够把它给你。随着真理出现，美会到来，善也会随之而来。这就是真正的三位一体：真、美、善。只有当你进入到自己的主体性，只有当你探索自己的内在时这三种经验才会发生。
你活在自己外面的走廊里，从来没有进入自己的存在。一旦你进入它，就会发现你内在的佛，你的觉知，你无选择的意识。那么你将不再需要去决定什么是对什么是错。那无选择的意识会带领你走向美好，无需任何努力，它是毫不费力的。
你不需要任何人告诉你什么是对什么是错。所有你需要的只是唤醒你的内在意识，允许自己如其所是地去看待世间万物。那么就没有关于选择的问题。
没有人会有意识地去选择不好的，那是无意识，是你内心的黑暗选择了邪恶。意识会把光带入你的整个存在，你变得如此闪耀。你无法做出伤害任何人的事，你无法做出任何伤害自己的事。你会突然意识到你与整个宇宙是一体的。你的行为变得友善、美好、优雅；你的语言开始具有某种诗意；你的宁静是如此之深，如此喜乐，以致于你的喜乐开始洋溢到别人身上。
这洋溢的喜乐是觉醒之人唯一的重要标志。只是与他在一起，只是他的临在就足以使你品尝到彼岸的味道。
但这并不依任何人而定，它依你自己的觉知而定。一旦你觉知到你的内在，你就会觉知到那无处不在的是同样的意识在悸动，在跳舞。在树木里，在河流里，在高山里，在海洋里，在人们的眼睛里，在他们的心里，那是同一首歌，同一支舞蹈，而你身在其中。你若参与，那便是好。若不参与，那便是坏。
CONSCIOUSNESS VS. CONSCIENCE
There is no need to develop a conscience at all.What is needed is consciousness,not conscience. Conscience is a pseudo-thing. Conscience is created in you by the society, and it is a subtle method of slavery. Society teaches you what is right and what is wrong. And it starts teaching the child even before the child is aware, before the child can decide on his own what is right and what is wrong, before the child is even conscious of what is happening to him. We are conditioning them according to our ideas—and all these ideas from parents, from priests, teachers,politicians，saints—all these ideas jumble together inside the child and become his"conscience."
Because of this conscience the child will never be able to grow consciousness.The conscience is a false substitute for consciousness,and if you are satisfied with the false you will never even think of the real.
It is deceptive; the way we have been bringing up children is very deceptive and it is ugly, it is a kind of violence against humanity.That's why millions of people live without any consciousness. Before they could have grown into consciousness,we gave them false toys to play with.For their whole lives they think this is all that is needed to live a good life. For their whole lives they believe they will be rewarded if they follow their conscience and will be punished if they don't. They will be punished and rewarded, from the outside and from the inside,too.Whenever you do something that your conscience says is wrong,you feel guilty. You suffer, you feel inner pain;you are afraid, trembling, it creates anxiety.You fear that you may lose the opportunity to go to heaven, that you may fall into hell, and with such great inventiveness your saints have painted the joys of heaven and the miseries of hell!
This is conscience. Conscience is artificial, arbitrary.Rather than making you intelligent, it gives you fixed rules of behavior "Do this, don't do that."
The day humanity drops this whole nonsense of conscience and starts helping children to grow their consciousness will be the real birth of humanity, a new human being, and a new earth.Then we will help children to become more intelligent, so whenever a problem arises the child has enough intelligence to encounter it, to face it, to respond to it.
And remember,intelligence is not a question of thinking. In fact,you think too much.It is a question of how to stop thinking and to see directly into every situation that you are facing. If there is no thought, there is no barrier, there is no dust in your eyes; you can see clearly.
When this clarity is there,you don't have the alternatives of “good"and "bad."With this clarity there is a choiceless consciousness. You simply do what is good, not that you make any effort to do it. It comes effortlessly to the person of awareness, consciousness,alertness.One simply cannot imagine the bad, the evil.Your whole awareness simply points you towards the good.
The vision of the good is not part of the mind. But if you know only the mind,you don't have clarity.You have hundreds of thoughts moving continuously in your mind; it is a rush hour twenty-four hours a day;a crowd of thoughts goes on, clouds go on moving so fast that you are completely hidden behind the clouds.Your eyes are almost blind. Your inner sensitivity is completely covered by your thoughts.
Through the mind you cannot know what is good and what is bad.You have to depend on others.This dependence is absolutely natural because the mind is a dependent phenomenon; it depends on others; its whole knowledge is borrowed. The mind lives on borrowed knowledge. In every situation it wants somebody to guide it.
Your whole life is being guided by others.From the very beginning you are told what is right and what is wrong by your parents. Then your teachers, then your priests, then your neighbors—not that they know, they too have borrowed from others. This borrowing goes on century after century, generation after generation. Every disease goes on being inherited by the new generation.Each new generation is just a replica of the older generation—a reflection,a shadow,but it does not have its own originality.
It is because of this that you need a God, an ultimate guide. You cannot depend on your parents,because as you grow older you start seeing their falsities, their lies.You start seeing that their advice is not perfect; they are fallible human beings.But the small child believes in the parents as if they are infallible.It is not their fault,it is the small child's innocence; it trusts the father, the mother, who love their children. But finally the child comes to know, as he grows towards a little maturity, that what these people say is not necessarily true.Deep down you are not in agreement with it. Deep down there is doubt.
And deep down you realize that something may be good in one situation and the same thing may be bad in a different situation.Sometimes even poison can be medicine, and sometimes medicine can be poison—you have to understand the changing flux of life.
So thinking cannot decide your actions.It is not a question of deciding as a logical conclusion,it is a question of choiceless awareness.You need a mind without thoughts. In other words you need a no-mind, just a pure silence,so you can see directly into things. And out of that clarity the choice will come on its own;you are not choosing.You will act just as a buddha acts.Your action will have beauty, your action will have truth, your action will have the fragrance of the divine.There will be no need for you to choose.
You have to look for guidance because you don't know your inner guide is hidden inside you.You have to find the inner guide and that's what I call your witness. That's what I call your intrinsic buddha.You have to awaken that buddha within,and your life will shower blessings, benediction. Your life will become so radiant with good, with godliness,more than you can possibly conceive.
It is almost like light.Your room is dark,just bring light in. Even a small candle will do, and the whole darkness disappears.And once you have a candle you know where the door is.You don’t have to think about it:"Where is the door?"Only blind people think about where the door is.People who have eyes and the light is there they don't think. Have you ever thought,"Where is the door?" You simply get up and go out.You never give a single thought to where the door is.You don't start groping for the door or hitting your head against the wall.You simply see,and there is not even a flicker of thought.You simply go out.
Exactly the same is the situation when you are beyond mind. When there are no clouds and the sun is bright in the sky, you don't have to think,"Where is the sun?" When there are clouds covering the sun,you have to think about it.
Your own being is covered with thoughts,emotions,feelings, and they are all mind-products.Just put them aside, and then whatever you do is good—not that you follow certain scriptures, not that you follow certain commandments, not that you follow certain spiritual leaders.You are in your own right the guide of your life. And that is the dignity of being human, to be the guide of one's own life. That transforms you into a lion, makes you no longer a sheep always looking for somebody else to defend you.
But this is the problem of almost the whole of humanity.You have been programmed by others as to what is right and what is wrong.
Truth can only arise within you. Nobody else can give it to you. And with truth comes beauty, followed by good.This is the authentic trinity of a truly religious person: truth, beauty,good.These three experiences happen when you enter into your own subjectivity, when you explore the interiority of your being.
You have been living in the porch outside your being;you have never gone in. Once you go in, you will find your buddha,your awareness, your choiceless consciousness. Then you don't have to decide what is right and
what is wrong.That choiceless consciousness takes you towards the good without any effort.It is effortless.
You don't need anybody to tell you what is good and what is wrong. All that you need is an awakening within you of a consciousness which allows you to see things as they are.Then there is no question of choice.
Nobody chooses the bad consciously.It is the unconscious, the darkness within you, that chooses the evil. Consciousness brings light to your whole being; you become full of luminosity.You cannot do anything that is harmful to anybody. You cannot do
anything that is harmful to your own body.You become suddenly aware that you are one with this whole universe.So your actions become good, beautiful, graceful; your words start having a certain poetry,your silence becomes so deep,so blissful, that your bliss starts overflowing to others.
This overflowing of bliss is the only significant sign of one who is awakened.Just being with that person,just the presence of that person is enough to give you a taste of the beyond.
But it is not according to anybody else,only according to your own awareness.Once you become aware of your inside,you will become aware that,all over,that same consciousness is throbbing, dancing. In the trees,in the rivers,in the mountains,in the oceans,in people’s eyes,in their heart,it is the same song, it is the same dance,and you participate in it. Your participation is good.Your nonparticipation is bad.
