To me, this phenomenon seems to be very symbolic. All our
imprisonments, sentences, death sentences, our tortures,
have been futile; they have not changed a single man. They
cannot because a man is a configuration of so many
natural forces. Just by punishing, you cannot change that
configuration. A man is such a deep-rooted phenomenon
that just by beating him you cannot change his
consciousness.
And really, this has been a very long game, very futile
because the person who is beating is of the same type.
Policemen and thieves, they belong to the same category.
Murderers and judges, they belong to the same category.
They are just standing on opposite poles but their quality of
consciousness is similar. One is committing a sin against
the society; another is committing a sin for the society.
If you murder someone you will be murdered by the society
and a murder by the society is not a sin. How can you
change murder by murder? How can you change violence by
violence? You increase it; you double it. You can take
revenge but you cannot change anything.
The Upanishads say that when you come to the innermost
core of being and become alert, totally alert about what has
happened, then you know it was prakriti – nature – which
was doing all. You have always been a witness – the
purusha.
The deepest philosophy in India has been samkhya, and
samkhya says all activity belongs to nature; only
consciousness belongs to you. All activity, virtuous or sinful
– all activity – belongs to nature. To you belongs only
consciousness. Attain consciousness, become one with that,
and all sins will be destroyed and you will be established in
Brahman.
