Being Good
Being good is
relativity is much better than being bad and at times in our life when the ego
is really trying to have its way with us, we yearn more than anything to be
good. This is all of course fine, excellent and wonderful and can not be
knocked, especially in the times when we are experiencing an intense temptation
to do something bad or inconvenient for ourselves or others. However, when we
place ourselves in the field of mystical death, being good must be transcended,
because as you will experience we can become stagnated in the ‘being good’
level, and that stagnation stops us from dying in more death and it even
hinders us from dying completely. It even in fact hinders our inner revolution.
Renunciation is Key
The key to overcoming
this stagnation in the ‘being good’ level or the key to really dying in
ourselves is renunciation. We have to give up something, we have to definitely
let go of something, and that something could be a concept, a thought, a
feeling, an idea, a fantasy, a perception, an attitude etc.
If we are able to
renounce to something then what we are doing is chipping a block out of that
the structure of that ego. Hence we are dying. Being good after a while becomes
mechanical and in order to die we have to go further and renunciation is the
way.
Conclusion
To know that we are
dying within ourselves and to overcome the stagnation of ‘being good’ we must
renounce to aspects or characteristics of the ego we are trying to dissolve. I
want to stress at this point that we should not become bad or make mistakes or
do wrong or bad things to break ‘being good’ stagnation. To do that would be really
stupid, because that will only bring you karma which will hinder you further
from dissolving that ego.
End (112).
