Excerpt From - The Wild Geese and the Water
I accept my responsibility, and I rejoice in it. I have never dumped my responsibility on anyone else because that is losing freedom, that is becoming enslaved, at the mercy of others. Whatsoever I am, I am wholly and solely responsible for it. This gives me a great strength. It gives me roots, centering. But the source of this responsibility is, I love myself. I have also been through the same type of mass exploitation. But from the very beginning I made it clear that if I am going to be pushed into heaven I will refuse it. Of my own will I am ready to go to hell. At least I will have my independence, my choice.

My parents, my teachers, my professors struggled with me. But I said, “One thing is certain: I cannot accept any bribery to become a slave. I would rather suffer for the whole eternity in hellfire, but I will remain myself. At least that much joy I will have – that this is my choice, nobody has forced me”….

People have been distracted from their very source. I want you to come back home. Respect yourself. Feel the joy.and pride that existence needs you; otherwise you would not have been here. Rejoice that existence cannot be without you. In the first place that’s why you are here, existence has given you an opportunity, a life with tremendous treasures hidden within you – of beauty, of ecstasy, of freedom.
