You are a soul — which can not be corrupted.
Innocence is its very nature.
It is just like the sky: you see clouds come and go, and the sky remains just the same; it is not corrupted by the clouds.
Dust storms arise, and settle back; the sky is not corrupted by dust storms. How many things have not happened under the skies?
Millions of things have happened — nothing has corrupted it. It remains pure.
The inner sky is also pure, just like the outer sky.
Thousands of things go on happening, but the innermost core remains virgin. There is no way to corrupt it.
That's why I say: if you can put aside your head for a while, if you can behead yourself for a while, if you can approach towards me directly, immediately, then you will hear what I am saying, you will understand what I am saying — but you will not be conditioned by it, you will remain free. That is the beauty !
A Buddha has not conditioned anybody, a Jesus has never conditioned anybody. If people are Christians and have become conditioned, that is their choice — you cannot throw the responsibility on Jesus.
If people have become Buddhists and have completely forgotten about Buddha, and go on talking only about Buddhist doctrines and dogmas, that is their responsibility — otherwise, Buddha has not conditioned anybody.These people come to free you. They bring freedom, they bring purity, they bring innocence. But the ultimate result depends on you.?
