I am responsible to my heart, to no one else in this world. So you are responsible only to your own being. Do not go against it, because going against it means committing suicide, destroying yourself. What will you win?
Even if people honor you, consider it a very sober, respectable, respected person, nothing this will not feed your being. Nothing this will not give you insight into life and its immense beauty.How many millions of people lived before you on this Earth? You do not even know their names; they lived or not, it does not matter. There were saints and sinners, there were very respected people, there were all kinds of eccentrics, crazy, but they all disappeared - and even a trace from them did not remain on Earth.
Your only concern should be to cherish and protect the qualities that you can take with you when death destroys your body, your mind, because only these qualities will be your companions. Only these are real values, and only the people who have reached them really live - they, and only they; others just pretend to live.
Life itself is not always life.Look at your life. Can you call her a blessing? Can you call it an altar, a gift of existence? Would you like it to be given to you again and again?
Do not obey the scriptures - listen to your heart. This is the only commandment that I can enjoin: listen carefully, very consciously, and you will never be mistaken. And, listening to the heart, you will never be split. Listening to your heart, you will start moving in the right direction, never even thinking about whether it is right or not.All the art of the new humanity will be the secret of listening to the heart: consciously, vigilantly, carefully. And, following him, go wherever it leads you. Yes, sometimes it will lead you into danger - but then remember, the dangers are needed to make you mature. Sometimes it will make you get lost - but again remember, these errors are part of growth. Many times you fall - rise again, because that's how a person gets strength: falling and rising again. This is how a person becomes integrated, whole.(OSHO)
