00:00Doing the right thing is a product of internal rightness.
00:04When you are internally right, it's then that you do the right thing and then the right thing is its own reward.
00:12Then you are not really, you know, staring at the future with your arms stretched almost like a beggar,
00:21asking for a reward and feeling disappointed, well, I did the right thing,
00:24but life did not reward me the way it does other people.
00:29Equally, if you are doing something that's against your nature and your nature is beauty,
00:35your nature is joy, your nature is freedom, if you are doing something against this,
00:39then that is a wrong action and the punishment lies in the very doing.
00:44When you are doing this, at that moment, you are not being yourself and that's a great suffocation.
00:51That's a great humiliation to oneself.
00:54So please, all the ones who want to lead an upright life, a life of courage, of power, of freedom,
01:03never be afraid or doubtful that if you live rightly, the consequences might not be favorable.
01:10One great characteristic of the right life is that one becomes free of the botheration,
01:19the worry related to consequences and that's a great unburdening, is it not?
