Today I had a mood that comes rarely in life and suddenly I felt like writing and sharing with all.
Observing life deeply and profoundly all I feel is that nobody is enemy and I should not accuse anybody. And of course nobody is condemnable no even those who have committed sins or made transgressions in life.
Why people commits sins or break the rules? I do not blame him or her, for all are bound to circumstances. Man is circumscribed by what is around, the phenomena.I have not said anything new and this topic got of course a subject of discussion many a time yet I chose to discuss notwithstanding the fact I may sound boring and uninteresting.
Why does a man commit sins? Is there anyone free of it? Or clean of it. Of course no anecdotes are grander than the one we read in the Bible, one of the best paradigms I always Keep abreast of when Jesus was approached by a group of people, antagonists with a widow who had supposedly been involved in adulteration and accused of committing numbers of sinful deeds.
She was about to be stoned. When asked Jesus said only he or she can stone her who had never ever committed sins in life. In point of fact no one is bereft of fit, not a single person in the world. And all withdrew one by one then.
This is a wonderful parable. I am never tired of reading it. It is a matter of degree and kind and all are kind of subject to sins.
In substance sin is mandatory and having said this I, maybe, kind of sound rather blasphemous and as a matter of fact am fearful of the fact that you may not subscribe to my ideas.
Survival is not possible without committing sins, and it is a matter of size only.
You have to live on other beings. You kill animals to devour and indeed you have to uproot plants. From one perspective this is a sin, to take somebody' s life. Yet this is the law of nature. By the same token someone burgles and this too is not an act of sin or crime, for the situation he is hemmed in circumscribes him to commit it.
It is sheer 'conditioning' and the circumstance he is plunged into constrains him and of course carve out a particular course for him. Indeed before birth everything was there, and the situation was in, the poverty, the parents' courses of living, the society with its own codes or the sets of rules,( society is nothing but adherence to sets of values shared by some people). How can a baby born of a thief be free of the idea of thieving. He is tracked to follow the course or footsteps of his parents.
It is indeed the background to see, and in person he is clean, unblemished, but the circumstances or society is accountable for it. Ninety nine percent and one percent maybe free will is at work.
Looking at things from this perspective believe equanimity. I can not blame or hate anybody no matter how many crimes he was guilty of. Maybe I too would have committed the same kind of sins if I was in the same circumstances.
If anybody is rich or poor, sinful or holy, hermetic or transgressor is ninety nine percent not out of free will, but out of the circumstances only. In this endless eddy anyone can be plunged into such states.
If you meditate this deeply and profoundly you will attain Buddhahood, a state wherein you will have no friends and no enemies and the line that created the division blurs.
