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.
