Discard all traditional standards. Leave them to
the hypocrites. Only what liberates you from
desire and fear and wrong ideas is good. As long
as you worry about sin and virtue you will have
no peace.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Remembering your self is virtue, forgetting yourself is sin. It all boils down to the mental or psychological link between the spirit and matter. We may call the link psyche (antahkarana). When the psyche is raw, undeveloped, quite primitive, it is subject to gross illusions. As it grows in breadth and sensitivity, it becomes a perfect link between pure matter and pure spirit and gives meaning to matter and expression to spirit.
