you feel guilty, because first you created an image -- which was a false image; now your image has fallen -- you feel guilty. You want to keep that image always there high on the pedestal. Why?
Simply make it clear... let it be declared! To everybody that comes to you -- a friend, a lover, people who are in any way related to you -- let it be declared that you are this way; if they choose to relate with you, they choose with your totality. Yes, there are good things and there are bad things in you. Sometimes you are very angry, and very destructive. And see what happens.... It will do miracles.
Those who love you will love you more, because this sincerity creates more love. This openness makes you more worthy. And then there is never any problem. If you hurt, they know that you have told them, and you don't feel any repentance for it, because this is the way you are.
A man who is totally accepting of his own being never repents -- never! Because for what to repent?
[The sannyasin answers: I'm always told in these situations that I don't know my own power.]
But again you are always on the power trip. Nobody knows! How can you know? Who can know? Relax, and then the power is released. You are tense -- the power cannot be released; you don't allow any opening for it. And the power is not yours -- you are the tension. When you are no more there, the tension is gone; the tight knot is not there. The power is there, but power has nothing to do with [you]. Power is nobody's property. Power is simply power. It is god's or you can say it is of the whole. It is nothing to do with you. You are the knot.
So unknot yourself! Simply accept that this is the way you are -- and in that acceptance the knot starts opening, because now there is no point. You are no more worried about it. Then power is, but power is not yours. I cannot say that it is your power, and you don't know your own power. It has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with me -- it is simply power. It is the energy of the total. When you become a vehicle, it flows. It is not flowing because you are creating so many barriers for it; you are creating so many blocks.
