DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

SIN  &  VIRTUE

11 August, 1928

On 11 August, Baba began giving discourses to the boys again, which he had stopped since January. Explaining about the transitoriness of life, he stated:

Sin and virtue, good and bad, heaven and hell are all bindings because they are transitory [and illusory states]. But such truths cannot be mentioned to the outside world because most of mankind lacks the preparedness and understanding to digest such knowledge. If some things are revealed, instead of being enlightened, people may fumble more in the darkness of their ignorance. Instead of making a good impression, if such things are not properly explained, the outside world would have a very distorted, bad impression about the things I tell you.
