One of the biggest problem I find in the so called spiritual seekers is when they lose trust over the law of the land and law of the society, they lose integrity. Understand losing integrity is not spirituality. Just because you lost respect; usually these seekers tend to lose respect for the law of the land or law of the society; because when you are a seeker you evolve to certain level, your hypocrisy goes away. When your hypocrisy goes away the hypocritical laws of the society and the law of the land loses its power over you. You just realise social laws are nothing but social hypocrisy. Usually the law of land is exploited by the people who are in power. When somebody realises this truth they tend to lose respect for the social laws and social rules and country laws; law of the land. But unfortunately when you lose respect for law of land you become hypocritical; the integrity is lost, the honesty is lost.

Understand, for ultimate enlightened being and for a terrorist; for both the social law and country law does not bind. But an enlightened being retains his integrity. A terrorist does not have integrity. I can say many seekers lose their integrity; almost become terrorists.

The other day I was watching in CNN channel the whole biography of Bin Laden. I was shocked. The amount of austerity in his life; 14 years he slept in a desert just on an ordinary mat without any mattress praying to Allah. It is not an information from me information from CNN. CNN channel says. And they presented his whole biography. I was shocked. The tapas, austerity in his life; being a wealthy rich person. He is not a wandering sadhu of Bharat who doesn’t have wealth. No. Being a very rich wealthy man, creating so much of wealth all over the world, I don’t know how many billions of dollars wealth he has in US or he had in US before the attack he made or I can say alleged to have made. Anyhow but when I saw his whole life, I was shocked.

The amount of austerity I can say if I have to classify based on austerity, I will classify him much more than any Hindu sadhu living in the body. Then what happened. Where things went wrong? Why he became a terrorist instead of becming an enlightened being? Why the tapas which he practiced did not invoke compassion in him. How did he get the feeling to kill 3000 people?

It’s almost a lost philosophical miss. When you lose respect for the social law and country law; you are supposed to have that deep respect and the true experience and at least a unshakeable cognitive factual clarity that Existence is intelligence. Everything goes as per the justice of the intelligence. If you have that one clarity you will not become terrorist. You will not become terrorist. If you have the one clarity; understand an ordinary man is a man who is bound by the social law and law of the land. Enlightened being is a person who is not bound by these two laws but he has clarity of the cosmic law. It is intelligence which is doing everything; so he rests in peace. He will be deeply compassionate and non violent. He will have the complete restful awareness and peace. He is an enlightened being.

Then there is another one classification. Person who does not have respect for social law and law of the land but do not have the cognitive factual clarification, the whole is independent intelligent. He thinks the whole is just dead matter. So anybody can do injustice to himself or his group. Then naturally what he thinks ‘come on let me take up weapon in my hand and take revenge by myself’. That is where the deviation happens.
