style='mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>YES, for it is their nature to be faithful
and they have not man's mental complications. What prevents men from becoming
faithful is the complexes of their mind. Most men are not faithful because
they are afraid of being dupes, afraid of being cheated, exploited. Also behind
the faithfulness they have there is always a large dose of egoism hidden, there
is a bargaining more or less conscious, a give and take: 'I am faithful to you.
You too must be faithful to me, in other words, you must be nice to me, must
not exploit me etc. Dogs do not have these complexities, for they have a very
rudimentary mind. They have not this marvellous capacity of reasoning which
drives man to commit such follies. But, of course, we cannot go back to the
dog state. What we have to do is to rise higher, to become a superman, to have
the dog's quality on a higher level, if! am allowed to say so, i.e. instead of
being faithful instinctively, blindly, half-consciously, through a kind of
binding need, it must be a conscious, willing, deliberate faithfulness, above
all, free from egoism. There is a point where all the virtues meet: it is the
point that is beyond egoism. 1fwe take faithfulness or devotion or love or the
will to serve,-all these when they are above the level of egoism are similar to
one another in the sense that they give themselves and ask no return. And if
you get up a step higher, you see they are done not through the sense of duty
or abnegation but out of an intense joy that carries its own reward, which
needs nothing in exchange, for it is joy itself. But for that you should have
risen very high where there is no longer any turn-back on oneself, these
movements that draw you down –that kind of sympathy for oneself, the self-pity
that one feels for oneself and says &quot;Poor me I&quot; This is a most
degrading sentiment and it pulls you immediately into a dark hole.</span></p>

whether it is properly received or not, whether there is a response or not.
Never to wait for a return in exchange for what one does, wait for nothing, not
through asceticism or the sense of sacrifice, but because of the joy of being
in that consciousness: that is sufficient, that is much more that what one can
receive from anything outside.</span></p>
