Two Definite Ways
There are basically two definite ways to know that something
is wrong.
Knowing that something is wrong is very useful in the
comprehension of the ego. Because we can keep something of the ego alive because
we just can’t see anything wrong with it.
When we are confused as to whether something is wrong or
right or we suspect that something is wrong but we can’t clearly see it, these
two ways will help.
External Consequences
The first way is to observe the consequences. If the consequences
or results are negative, it is a very easy conclusion that that thing is wrong,
inconvenient, negative, contains unbalance and by nature is not right or in accordance
with the way of things or the laws and principles of life, the work and the
path.
Internal Consequences
Sometimes there appear to be no external negative consequences,
sometimes the negative consequences are very light and can be easily brushed
off. In such cases we have to look within.
We have to look for the negative consequences within us.
Within our psyche and within our essence or consciousness. To see what am I
doing wrong by the principles of my essence and by my consciousness.
If we look carefully enough, with enough refined concentration
we will feel something and that will guide us to discover what we have done
wrong by our own consciousness and by the principles of our own essence.
What we will find is that we have gone against something
within our essence or consciousness. We distrusted it, or disobeyed it. This is
a very practical matter of self-exploration and self-discovery. Dive into your
psyche and consciousness and see what you'll reveal to yourself, it is there already
just find it.
End (1389).
