you don't move into it, it is simply foolish; it is not a sin, but simply stupid. Greed disappears, it is stupid. Jealousy disappears, it is stupid.
Remember this valuation. In morality there is something good and something bad. In being natural there is something wise and something stupid. A man who is natural is wise, not good. A man who is not natural is stupid, not bad. There is nothing bad and nothing good, only wise things and foolish things. And if you are foolish you harm yourself and others, and if you are wise you don't harm anybody -- neither others, nor you. There is nothing like sin and there is nothing like virtue -- wisdom is all. If you want to call it virtue, call it virtue. And ignorance is there if you want to call it sin -- that is the only sin.
So how to transform your ignorance into wisdom? That is the only transformation -- and you cannot force it: it happens when you are loose and natural.
... REMAINING LOOSE AND NATURAL, ONE CAN BREAK THE YOKE -- THUS GAINING LIBERATION.
And one becomes totally free. It will be difficult in the beginning, because constantly the old habits will be there forcing you to do something: you would like to be angry -- but the old habit simply starts a smile on your face. There are people that, whenever they smile, you can be certain that they are angry. In their very smile they show their anger. They are hiding something, a false smile spreads on their faces. These are the hypocrites.
A hypocrite is an unnatural man: if anger is there he will smile; if hate is there he will show love; if he feels murderous, he will pretend compassion. A hypocrite is a perfect moralist -- absolutely artificial, a plastic flower, ugly, of no use; not a flower at all, just a pretension.
Tantra is the natural way: be loose and natural. It will be difficult because the old habits have to be broken. It is difficult because you will have to live in a society of hypocrites. It will be difficult because everywhere you will find a conflict with the hypocrites -- but one has to go through it. It will be arduous because there are many investments in false, artificial pretensions. You may feel completely
