Don't Be Afraid To Make Mistakes

*22. Don't Be Afraid To Make Mistakes*

Whenever a boundary is broken, it creates some fear. The fear creates dislike. This dislike puts us back in the boundary you put forth defenses. When you try to defend your position, it is such a stress. 

Every time you try to defend your position, it makes you more and more weak. Drop all your defenses. When you are totally defenseless, that's when you'll be strong. Your knowledge of a mistake comes to you when you are innocent. 

Whatever mistake has happened, do not consider yourself a sinner because in the present moment you are again new, pure and clear.

Mistakes of the past are past. When this knowledge comes, you are again perfect. 

Often, mothers scold their children and afterwards feel so guilty. Okay, you got angry at your kid once or twice. Why? Because of the lack of awareness. Awareness was missing so anger came up.

Knowledge of the self, truth and skills can bring out the best in you. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes, but not the same mistakes.
