For fear of being mistaken in our actions, we stop doing anything at all; for fear of being mistaken in our speech, we stop speaking; for fear of eating for the pleasure of eating, we do not eat at all, this is not freedom, it is simply reducing the manifestation to a minimum; and the natural conclusion is Nirvana. But if the Lord wanted only Nirvana, nothing but Nirvana would exist! It is obvious that He conceives of the co-existence of all opposites, and that for Him this must be the beginning of a totality…
In one's aspiration not to make anymore mistakes, one eliminates any occasion tor making them. It is not a cure.
But the other way is much, much more difficult.
No, the solution is to act only under the Divine impulsion, to speak only under the Divine impulsion, to eat only under the Divine impulsion. That is the difficult thing, because naturally, you immediately confuse the Divine impulsion with your personal impulse.
