MAHABHARAT EPISODE 67: THE ONE THING THAT EXISTENCE CANNOT FORGIVE

Questioner: Sadhguru, the people whom Krishna let pass were either exploiters or exploited, but this person whom he does not let pass seems to be neither. So why did he not pass? Sadhguru: Dharma is not about social laws. Your ideas of right and wrong are social in nature, but being in disharmony with creation is a different matter. Your definitions of what is exploitation, help, love, and compassion are all social ideas. Just go to a local farmer and tell him, “You must be compassionate to the land that you are plowing.” He will not understand what you are talking about. He will plow strong, not compassionately, because that is the way it works. If you plow compassionately, nothing will grow. Environmentalists may be talking about loving the earth and being compassionate to the earth, without ever even walking barefoot or being in touch with Mother Earth. I am saying there is a disconnect between life and creation. Life is creation, and the Creator is embedded in life – you cannot really separate it. When you are creating a separation, you suffer – not because of any social codes. You may think that someone is not a good man, but they may be living a much better life than you.
