yourself but still do not adjust in the right way. You seek within yourself in the wrong 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
if it is really your own than a right one if it is not. In the first 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
the point here. What you expound may be right -- but why do you really have the 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
need to convince others that your opinion is right, then you should examine where and how you 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
you. It tries to lead you on the right way. Sometimes you let yourself be guided, but 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS

certain behavior on your part, being good and right in itself, was done without your feelings sustaining 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
feelings sustaining it. You have actually done the right thing out of weak and sick motives -- 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
the issue, in one instance it may be right to discontinue doing the right thing until you 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
it may be right to discontinue doing the right thing until you are ready to do it 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
does not. So far, you have done the right thing out of mixed motives -- partly out 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
up the sick and weak motives with the right action. By recognizing these facts you will, of 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
you will, of course, continue to do the right thing, but now you will be aware of 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
vent to the crude feelings. Having performed a right act out of wrong motives, you will think 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
to do the wrong thing out of the right motive, because then you are at least honest 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
divine self, you may continue to do the right act while realizing how you feel and that 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
your past and present motives. Second, continue the right act for itself even though you cannot love 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
no more true to yourself than was the right act so far. Because as long as you 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
that does not mean to give up the right act. In this way, gradually, something will grow 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
grow and bloom in you. By doing the right act without self-deception, in the hope that one 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
no other way. QUESTION: On the subject of right action, how can a person who is so 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
that he or she is compulsive know a right action from a wrong one? ANSWER: In many 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS
it is quite clear that one alternative is right and the other is selfish. COMMENT: We have 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS

Can you tell me whether I see it right? It seems that we involve ourselves in all 52 THE GOD-IMAGE
Therefore, one has to try and find the right middle way between these wrong extremes. At one 52 THE GOD-IMAGE

and a sick kind of self-love. So the right middle way has to be found in this 52 THE GOD-IMAGE

therefore one does not dare to look. This right middle way demands a certain objectivity. But do 52 THE GOD-IMAGE
stand back a little. ANSWER: That is all right. You see, my answer is not only given 52 THE GOD-IMAGE

the most important thing that my actions are right? No, my friends. Feelings are actions too, although 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
a compromise. You have difficulty in finding the right middle way perhaps? Yes. Let me try to 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
You are not expected to decide what the right middle way is. You couldn't do that. The 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
does not apply to weighing and measuring the right middle way. It applies much rather to your 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
conclusion, you will become more aware of the right conclusion. If you go on that way, you 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
myself. Once you have gained this freedom, the right middle way will not be something you have 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
naturally without your even thinking about it. The right way will just be there because you no 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
a need in you to prove anything, the right middle way will be as natural as breathing 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
a completely natural process. You have found the right middle way without having to deliberate and choose 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
But when one is consciously convinced of the right thing, it is often difficult to break through 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE
wrong concepts are distortions and misunderstandings of the right concept. Happiness in the wrong concept is expressed 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS

have had the courage to acknowledge them. The right concept of love, on the highest level, is 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
contrary to the childish concept, love in its right concept does not demand a subject who blindly 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
many instances you sincerely felt according to the right concept -- or thought you felt that way 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
you are incapable of feeling according to the right concept of love and happiness. All of you 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
only one he knows. Instead of finding the right way by changing the wrong concept into the 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
way by changing the wrong concept into the right one, the personality only too often struggles against 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS
