you will not. But deep down you will always remain centred because there is no worry. You follow me? Otherwise everything can become a worry. Then going astray becomes just like a sin one is not to commit -- then the problem is created again.
If Adam was allowed to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge there would have been no problem, but the jewish god wouldn't allow it. It was a small thing, mm? and children are to be forgiven. It was just curiosity -- and God Himself was responsible for the curiosity; He created it in the first place. The moment He said, 'Don't eat from this tree,' He helped Adam to go astray. And when he fell a victim he was thrown out.
Never create any duality within you. If you decide to always be true, then there will be an attraction to be untrue. If you decide to be non-violent, then violence will become the sin. If you decide to be celibate, then sex will become the sin. If you try to be centred, going astray will become a sin -- that's how all religions have become stupidities.
Accept, go astray -- there is nothing wrong in it.
[The sannyasin answers: No, I was not thinking of something wrong in it. In fact what I do -- you know, I do the neti-neti' -- neither this nor that path is right.]
That too can be a subtle denial. That too is trying to keep yourself aloof; not going with the river and still fighting, saying neither this nor that -- neti-neti. But both are good: this too and that too -- both are good, go with them.
Simply relax, be in a let-go, and centring will be a consequence. One can never make it a result, it is a consequence. On a person who is relaxed, centring falls like a shadow. When I say relaxed, I am not saying make relaxation your goal, otherwise you will never be relaxed. If you try to relax you will become tense.
Accept everything. All that happens to you, accept and welcome it. Nothing is wrong, nothing can be wrong -- that should be the basic attitude. Everything is holy -- going astray too. Just float, and centring will come by itself, on its own accord. Don't make any effort. No effort is needed, or only no-effort is needed...
And everything is going
