What is good and what is bad?
What is it that determines, discriminates the good from the bad? It is awareness. It is your consciousness.
And don't try to befool yourself by saying that when man fell into a state of sin, he lost his innocence.
Let me ask you a question: Does your God know what is good and what is bad? If your God does not know what is good and what is bad, then he must be a buffalo. And if God knows what is good and bad, then to know good and bad is a divine quality.
Do you want to say that your God has fallen into sin, because he knows what is good and what is bad?
Both the ways are open to you. Either you have to accept that he is just a buffalo chewing grass, not knowing what is good, what is bad.... That, of course, you cannot accept, because on the day of judgment how will he discriminate who is good and who is bad? How will he send his saints to heaven and the sinners to hell? He must have the discriminating power. He must be able to see what is white and what is black.
And if God is not committing sin, then what is the fear -- why prevent Adam and Eve from knowing good from bad, discriminating? Because that is the only way to follow the good.
And what you call innocence... think twice. You are calling ignorance innocence. Ignorance looks like innocence; it is not innocence.
For example, it is said that the man who is awakened again becomes just like a child -- innocent. Mind the words, just like a child -- not a child, because the child is not innocent, he is simply ignorant.
That's why the child can be exploited by you, by your society, by your priests, by your politicians, by everybody. He is ignorant. He knows nothing of what is right and what is wrong. So in every society, every religion, he is given ideas.
For example, Christians don't think alcohol is wrong. In fact, on their holy days they drink alcohol -- and from the same glass. Just think of AIDS. AIDS has disturbed all your Christian ceremonies.
Mohammedans eat off one plate; that is a sign of friendship, love. But what about AIDS? Now it is not friendship to eat from the same plate. Nothing can be more inimical.
