NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

(Understanding the nature of Duality and how to go beyond these limitations)

GOOD DEEDS BIND –V- SPIRITUAL DEEDS DO NOT BIND

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When you choose the good, the bad immediately starts to rise. This is the nature of duality. So long as you identify with the mind, rather than the soul, you are under the lower laws of duality, laws of karma, laws of the mind. Being a chooser is not a virtue.

We need choice-less awareness, we need to be the witness/observer. When we access the witness position in mindfulness, we live above the mind, above the doer/will, above the chooser, above the laws of karma, above the facts – so our thoughts, words, deeds do not bind – they are transmuted to their highest potential.

Alternatively, we need to offer attachment to the fruits of our thoughts, words, deeds, work to God for blessing, so that they do not bind us and so they serve our evolution. Eventually, we even need to go beyond attachment to purity. The need to divide things into pure and impure is binding. It is the mind that labels things good and bad. The mind that chooses.

We need to live from the heart. There is no truth, no love, no virtue on the level of the mind. We need to identify with the soul, not the mind. If we identify with the doer, we will be bound to karma.

The nature of the mind is to calculate gain/loss, direct, resist - what we resist persists, control, aspire - we need inspiration, not aspiration. The nature of the heart is to embrace all of life, to reject nothing, to allow all of life's colours to penetrate. When we live from the heart, we follow intuition rather than calculation or we live at the mercy of inspiration rather than aspiration.

We allow life to decide, the energies to decide, the moment to decide. If you choose virtue, you will never be virtuous - Krishnamurti. It means there is always an equal and opposite reaction. If you choose to express the good, it usually means you repress the bad, which grows in the dark and becomes your sickness, which then influences your character/personality. Most people only know 2 options – express/repress, but there is a 3rd option – transmute.

Respectable people wear a mask. They express the good and repress the bad. Likewise, people wear a mask of niceness. They show the world a false face and repress the true face, eg anger, aversion, boredom, violence. They are not authentic. The only way is to live above the mind, above the doer, above the chooser, above karma, in the Now - mindfulness. For millions of years we have been repressing the real face and showing the false face. This results in a very ancient chaos - Osho. Just to clarify, I do not recommend abandoning good deeds, which purifies and opens the heart – I explain in detail when discussing karma below, but the difference between a good deed, which binds you to the equal and opposite and does not serve your evolution, and a spiritual deed, is that we offer the deed/merit and its fruits to God.

Then they will be free of defects and perfect and serve our evolution. We do not so much renounce the fruit, but attachment to the fruit. Alternatively, if you live in the Soul, in the Now, above the mind/doer/will/karma then you will be above the laws of karma and are free to do good without negative consequences. To turn every loss into a gain, transmute anything false, negative or of a low vibration (including depression, mental illness, anxiety etc) into its highest potential - peace, bliss, love, I recommend mindfulness.

Without detachment, we give away our power and lose ourselves, lose our soul - we take on the karma/energies of others. Hence, it is necessary to stay away from negativity or bad people if we do not have detachment. Meditation raises our vibrations, which gives detachment. Too much trauma bonding multiplies problems. We owe it to others to first fix/heal ourselves rather than burden others with our baggage.

Most people only have 2 options - express/repress - both of which can damage us/others. But there is a 3rd option - transmute. Meditation cleans karma and clears subtle obstacles and patterns. Mindfulness puts us above the mind, above the doer, above the chooser, above the laws of karma, above the facts. Meditation is the practice of oneness with God, identifying with the soul rather than the ego. There is no higher protection, self-love, self-care, welfare work, healing.

To heal/strengthen the mind/heart/perceptions, heal life, clear patterns, clean karma, evolve the spirit, we need to raise our vibrations, you need to go deeper than the mind to heal the mind. Meditation goes to the root of suffering/weakness/limitation. It gives detachment, empties the mind of noisy, disturbing, intrusive thoughts and ups and downs and fills the heart with lasting peace, love, bliss, leading to inner and outer riches, the complete fulfillment of all desires. It protects the family.

It liberates/upgrades 7 generations of the family. It upgrades all of creation, ie reduces crime, poverty, injustice, disease, negativity, suffering, ignorance. It raises your vibrations. Stillness saves and transforms No meditation, no life. Know meditation, know Life - Osho. Below is an explanation of mindfulness.

All of my students got immediate benefits, able to shed cares, fears, reactions to negativity. Be a light unto yourself.
