First condition is that you are not to feel guilty. It’s a fashion also. To feel guilty is a fashion. And it goes too far sometimes and it affects the left side of this center here, left side, which is very dangerous, because it causes spondylitis, also angina, also cervical cancer. Also it causes imbalance, or you can say the weakening of the organs, lethargic organs. With all this, why should we feel guilty? If you have done any mistakes you should have faced it at that time and finished it. No use feeling guilty now about something which you did in the past.
I said you have to be in the present because the past doesn’t exist; future doesn’t exist, either. So what exists is the present. At this moment I would request you not to feel guilty at all. You have to respect yourself. We have no right to degrade ourselves for nothing at all. This human life is very precious and also worthy of respect. So you forgive yourself fully.
