The Master was always teaching that guilt is an evil emotion to be avoided like the very devil -- all guilt. "But are we not to hate our sins?" a disciple said one day. "When you are guilty, it is not your sins you hate but yourself."

~ Anthony de Mello

Past webs of needless guilt
and mold of wrong advice
a spark of sunlight penetrates.
The hero laughs
and steps toward the sun.
~ Bill Heidrick
