Your Parents
Your parents were doing
something because they were taught to do those things. They were brought up by
parents also; they had not come from heaven directly. So what is the point of
throwing the responsibility backwards? It will not help to solve any problem.
It will help only to unburden you from guilt. That is the good part, the
beneficial part of psychoanalysis. It unburdens you from guilt. And the harmful
part is that it does not make you feel responsible. I teach you responsibility.
What do I mean by
responsibility? You are not responsible to your parents, and you are not
responsible to any God, and you are not responsible to any priest – you are
responsible to your inner being. Responsibility is freedom! Responsibility is
the idea that "I have to take the reins of my life in my own hands. Enough
is enough! My parents, whatsoever they could do they have done: good and bad,
they have done both. Now I have become a mature person. I should take
everything in my own hands and start living the way it arises in me. I should
devote all my energies to my life now." And immediately you will feel a
great strength coming to you.
Guilt makes you feel weak.
Responsibility makes you feel strong. Responsibility gives you heart again,
confidence, trust.
