Nations after nations can be destroyed, but the power of innocence cannot be destroyed. Have faith in that. You have to have complete faith in yourself and that your Self is nothing but innocence.

 

You may say that innocent people get cheated. Nobody can cheat innocence, because that is something of very eternal value.

 

They might cheat you in money, might cheat you in something, but the thing that is the most eternal is your innocence. You will be the most successful person in life when you are absolutely innocent and you are looking after your innocence.
 

As I have told you, that innocence never gets destroyed. It can be covered by your ill thoughts, by ill doing, it might be covered for the time being. But if you can take out the clouds away from the sky of innocence, the whole thing becomes so obvious that you have won the whole world.
