Of course itâs embarrassing not to always be infinitely wise, but I feel that what we can offer each other is our truth of the process of growing, and that means we fall on our face again and again.
Sri Aurobindo says, âYou get up, you take a step, you fall on your face, you get up, you look sheepishly at God, you brush yourself off, you take another step, you fall on your face, you get up, you look sheepishly at God, you brush yourself off, you take another stepâŠâ and thatâs the journey of awakening.
If you were awakened already, you wouldnât do that, so my suggestion is you relax and donât expect that you will always make the wisest decisions, and just realize that sometimes you make a decision, and it wasnât the right one, and then you change it.
