Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - June 23, 2021 💌

 

Of course it’s embarrassing to not always be infinitely wise, but I feel that what we can offer each other is the truth of our growth process, and that means we fall on our face again and again.

Sri Aurobindo says, “You 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 step…” and that’s the journey of awakening.

If you were awakened already, you wouldn’t do that, so my suggestion is you relax and don’t expect that you will always make the wisest decisions, and just realize that sometimes you make a decision, and it wasn’t the right one, and then you change it.
