THERE IS NEITHER BAD NOR GOOD, ONLY LOVE!

Should we not observe not only our lives but also what is going on around us?  ­The conflict, the violence, the despair, the sorrow, the meaningless existence that one leads. And to escape from that we resort to all kinds of sectarian beliefs.

Social Gurus are mushrooming in our society. They are bringing their own particular their traditions and imposing it on others; that is not religion.

So it is prudent, as I perceive, not only that we must bring about a change in the world outside us, but also a total revolution psychologically, inwardly. I will accrue change in the social structure, in our relationship, in our whole activity of life.

To understand conflict fully, we will have to understand relationship, and the understanding of relationship does not depend on memory, on habit, on what has been or what should be.It depends on choice-less awareness from moment to moment, and if we go into it deeply, we shall see that in that awareness there is no accumulative process at all.

The moment there is accumulation, there is a point from which to examine, and that point is conditioned; and hence, when we regard relationship from a fixed point, there must be pain, there must be conflict.

I wonder if there is such a thing as evil. Please give your attention, go with me, and let us enquire together. We say there is good and evil. There is envy and love, and we say that envy is evil and love is good. Why do we divide life, calling this good and that bad, thereby creating the conflict of the opposites?

Not that there is no envy , hate, brutality in the human mind and heart, an absence of compassion, love, but why do we divide life into the thing called good and the thing called evil? Is there not actually only one thing, which is a mind that is inattentive? Surely, when there is complete attention, that is, when the mind is totally aware, alert, watchful, there is no such thing as evil or good; there is only an awakened state.

Goodness then is not a quality, not a virtue, it is a state of love. When there is love, there is neither good nor bad, there is only love. When you really love somebody, you are not thinking of good or bad, your whole being is filled with that love. It is only when there is the cessation of complete attention, of love, that there comes the conflict between what i am and what i should be. Then that which i am is evil, and that which i should be is the so-called good.
