The world is a crooked place. You will have to be zig-zag, tangential; that is the nature of the world. Realization of crookedness is the only straight thing possible. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. Once you know that the straight One, the innocent One, is sitting in your heart, then you no more feel the need to display a fake straightness. Now you can get rid of all morality. Whatever you are doing is coming out of your love and compassion or just enjoyment.

Acharya Prashant: Lao Tzu says, “If you want of become whole, let yourself be partial”. The partial hates to call itself partial. The partial has a great belief, that it is the whole.
The fragment survives on the belief, that it is total. The individual exists on the assumption, that it is separate. The partial will always call itself a unit, an independent complete and separate unit. And the more partial it is, the more unitary it will feel.
For the partial to humbly accept, that it is but partial; it must have a connection to wholeness. That is also the foundation of Bhakti. When you are in touch of the absolute then you come to know of your smallness. When you are in the touch with the innocent then you come to know about your crookedness. These two go together. Only in touch with the absolute, can you know your limitation. That is why humility and grandeur always go together. Only in touch of immensity, can there be humility.
