Words from the Master

A small story:

Once there was a moralist who normally walked on the streets with carefully measured steps.
One day it suddenly began raining very heavily.
The moralist just followed the crowd and ran along.
After running for a while, he realized that he was careless about his manner.
He said to himself, “What am I doing! Running is undignified. A gentleman must correct his mistakes regretfully if he has made any.”
So he returned in the rain to the place where he had begun running, and walked again, with measured steps.

(Laughter!)
Morality makes you totally dull and dead!

Understand one thing: When I tell you this, I am not telling you that this is a free world and you can do anything you like. I am telling you that you have to develop your own intelligence and live so that rules will only be a confirmation of what you already know and feel. This is real intelligence. Any proper rule will only be a confirmation of what the rightly flowered intelligence feels. So drop your fears and try to find your inner intelligence, your inner voice, your inner Master.
