Mistake




Roman philosopher said this some thousand years ago and still it is true for us.

Mistake 1: Assuming that personal gain is obtained by crushing others.

Mistake 2: To keep on worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

Mistake 3: Insisting that a thing is impossible because you cannot accomplish it.

Mistake 4: Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

Mistake 5: Neglecting development and refinement of mind.

Mistake 6: Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Dear abhay
Thanks very much for appreciating for blog templet its really cool i loved it too :) and now abt this post where you asked abt relation btw the knowledge and the pic

the simple thing wat happened when we realize that we have committed a mistake we simple want to hide our face (generally because of shame/ego) and that how we want to close our eyes basically want to escape from eye contacts :) and more over sometime we commit crime a conscious mistake with our eyes closed like we are not seeing it :) thats how that gal in pic hiding her face and more over keeping her eyes closed... now that is one interpretation to the pic to relate the title mistake definitely u can have many :) now truely speaking to you when i was posting this topic i searched on google image for mistake and i liked it most so chose this one :) long story short :)

Spiritual or self-help teaching is a slippery path to walk upon. Being a spiritual teacher comes with a danger that one can have a notion of knowing without knowing. For example, i t is one thing to intellectually understand yoga is good for the healthy body but then doing it every day to keep the body healthy is an entirely different thing.
