Take A Decision Don’t be afraid

The problem arises because you don’t have any awareness. You don’t know what to do and what not to do. Then you are afraid of making a wrong decision, of moving in a wrong direction. The ego is there, and with the ego, the shadow of the ego — the ignorance — is there. They both go together, or, they remain together. If you drop the ego, ignorance disappears.

If you drop ignorance, ego disappears — they cannot exist separately. Ego and ignorance are two aspects of the same coin.You can throw the coin in both the ways. But one decision you have to take — either to drop the ego or to drop the ignorance. And if it is difficult to drop the ego,, easier then it is going to be very difficult to drop the ignorance. The path of surrender easier because it can become a total jump in a single step.The path of will is gradual, but if you choose that, there is nothing wrong in it…. Of course, more hard both are hard.

And whatsoever you choose will harder than the one that you have not chosen.But nothing can be done; one has to choose sooner or later.You have to commit your being to a certain path. The only wrong that you do is to remain indecisive and postpone. Don’t be indecisive.

 Decide. Even if sometimes you commit mistakes, nothing is wrong with them. By committing mistakes you will learn much. Even if you go astray, don’t be afraid. Go with courage. Be alert. Sooner or later you will realize that you have gone astray.You can come back. And whenever you come back after wandering, committing many mistakes, you will see that your consciousness has been enriched. If you simply sit in your home and never move because of the fear that something may go wrong, you may do something wrong; if you remain tethered to the place where you are, of course, you will not commit any mistakes, but your life will be a life of ‘unfulfilment’…. There is nothing wrong in committing mistakes. Just remember one thing, don’t commit the same mistake again and again.

Each mistake brings a lesson. Each going astray is coming to the right path in a deep way. What are you waiting for? Do something. Be decisive. I know it is human to tremble when a decision is to be taken. I can understand the helplessness, but nothing can be done about it. It is so. But nobody can give you a guarantee. That risk has to be taken.Whenever you move in anything deep, the possibility is there: more free you me freer or you may become more imprisoned. But one who takes the risk always learns something out of it always is enriched. So decide. Either you take everything in your hands, or you leave everything to existence. It cannot be fifty-fifty.

You would like to leave a part to me and to keep part in your own hands — that is not going to work.
