But now you see when you reach a certain state then you should not allow anything of the past to come back. I would even suggest to give a challenge to the past….
So, you have to challenge the past…. Ah, now let’s see what was the past, “Oh that one was, that one was, all right let’s see that, gone to waste, finished, good for Nothing” – like that. Then you are fixed into this point. But even if you are afraid of the past, to look at it, “Oh God”, and you feel funny or you get angry with yourself or you feel upset about it – then yet you have not reached the point. So now you have to see it that you are at a distance, that’s why you are seeing it. Nothing can touch you.
So the judgment will come from you to yourself, “Am I still involved in the past that was last, that was yesterday, is finished now? Am I even now bothered about it?” And your Mother will also sometimes test you on that. Sometimes I may remind you of some mistake of yours and then see what happens to you. And then I will know where are My children. Now you have become the fruit, which is ripe. So why should you worry about things which you are not anymore? Now if you have become a full-fledged bird why should you worry about the egg that used to smell so badly? So this is the attitude one must have towards oneself, the confidence within yourself. So that’s how you challenge your past.
