To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing:
start calling the mistakes or errors to a sins.
but they are simply mistakes, just human.
Now, if somebody commits a mistake in mathematics --
two plus two, and he concludes it makes five --
you don`t say he has committed a sin.
He is unalert, he is not paying attention to what he is doing.
He is unprepared, he has not done his homework.
He is certainly committing a mistake, but a mistake is not a sin.
It can be corrected. A mistake does not make him feel guilty.
At the most it makes him feel foolish.
If you really want to drop the guilt
you will have to drop your parental voices within, the priestly voices within. You will have to get rid of your parents and your conditioning.
Life has been in such a trap up to now
that even a small child starts feeling guilty.
We have not yet been able to develop an education
which can help people to grow without feeling guilty.
And unless that education happens man will remain ill, ill at ease.
For social reasons, economic reasons, political reasons, you have enforced a certain character upon yourself. But many vital forces exist against that character within you. They are continuously sabotaging your character. Hence every day you go on committing many mistakes, many errors.
Even sometimes you feel that you never wanted to do it. In spite of yourself, you go on committing many mistakes – because you are not one, you are many.
Buddha does not call these mistakes sins, because to call them sin will be condemning you. He simply calls them misdemeanors, mistakes, errors. To err is human, not to err is divine. And the way from the human to the divine goes through mindfulness. These many voices within you can stop torturing you, pulling you, pushing you. These many voices can disappear if you become mindful.
Real Repentance Is Remembering...
(Osho said)
is there a difference between making a mistake and purposely hurting someone else? I mean yes, it is a mistake to hurt old ladies and take their purses. But its not a mistake after the attacker continues to do it - even after being jailed for it.
after we conscious or aware of making a mistake we feel sorry or suffer from it, then we want to take the responsible for it...
but if we purposely hurting someone else and continues to do it, that's that mean we are not conscious or aware of being human, that has reduced us to a criminal, lowest kind of being.
but just like jesus said; “forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”
most people are asleep, unconsciously living in this world...they don't know what they are doing.
