Dear,
The same question was asked by my student during a session.
The same question was asked by my student during a session.
Here is some excerpt from that session-
Actually, it is not a mistake at all for you. It is a pleasurable activity, may be even some kind of an accomplishment. Had it really been a mistake, would you have allowed it to be repeated?
It is just to keep a good, social face, that we call it a ‘mistake’.“Dhokhe se ho gaya” (Happened by mistake). And now we are preparing for it to happen again.
Look into this, admit this. Do you really want to be free of mistakes? Do you really want that mistake to go away? After not waking up at five in the morning, when you wake up at eight, you say that you have made a mistake. But what were you were you saying at five o’clock? Was it a mistake at that time? No. It was a decision. It was a decision it was not a mistake at that time.
When is it a mistake, at eight o’clock or at five o’clock? At eight, becomes a mistake. Because now you have to talk to yourself, and now you have to talk to the world, and now you have to somehow justify why you couldn’t get up at five. So, now that act becomes a mistake. Was that actually a mistake? No, it was a very pleasurable thing at that time. “Just keep sleeping, great pleasure!”
To call a mistake, a ‘mistake’ is probably the only mistake. It is never a mistake. It is always a deliberate take.
That is why it is extremely important to be free of guilt. At eight, be a man. Have the guts to admit that I decided not to wake up. And then like a man, take the consequences. First of all you regaled yourself with the pleasure of sleeping. Right? At five, you gave yourself the pleasure of sleeping. And at eight, you want to give yourself the pleasure of feeling good about yourself.
(Sarcastically) “No my intentions were pure. I actually wanted to get up. It was just a mistake.”
Now that you have had all the pleasure, just stand up and admit, “I decided to sleep. Now what is the punishment? I want to take it. It was not a mistake. I did it. And now whatever is the consequence, I must and I will bear it.” Take it, don’t feel guilty.

You will have to pay for your mistakes. Now don’t cry. Pay with a smile. Why are you crying? Don’t even call it a ‘mistake’. Calling it a mistake is a form of crime. “I made a mistake. I did it. I had no option, being what I was. I did it, and now I am bearing it.” The moment you are so honest and so clean, your emancipation starts. For the first time you are not making a mistake.
In calling the mistake, a deliberate decision of what you are, you are now not making a mistake. Things now change. Something happens. Again, not that you won’t have to pay for it. You will still have to pay for it. But probably you won’t be crying anymore. And that is not a small relief. That’s a huge relief.
“Yes, I am paying for what I did, but I am not crying. I am standing up to it.”
