Nisargadata: Nothing is a mistake unless repeated.

[Guest guest]

Another snip..from "I am That"..

Q: Is there no end to self-discovery?

M: As there is no beginning, there is no end. But what I have discovered by the

grace of my guru is; I am nothing that can be pointed at. I am neither a 'this

nor a 'that'. This holds absolutely.

Q: Then, where comes in the never-ending discovery, the endless transcending

oneself into new dimension?

M: All this belongs to the realm of manifestation; it is in the very structure

of the universe, that the higher can be had only through the freedom from the

lower.

Q: What is lower and what is higher?

M: Look at it in terms of awareness. Wider and deeper consciousness is higher.

All that lives, works for protecting, perpetuating and expanding consciousness.

This is the world's sole meaning and purpose. It is the very essence of Yoga -

ever raising the level of consciousness, discovery of new dimensions, with their

properties, qualities and powers. In that sense the entire universe becomes a

school of Yoga [yogakshetra].

Q: Is perfection the destiny of all human beings?

M: Of all living beings - ultimately. The possibility becomes a certainty when

the notion of enlightenment appears in the mind.

Once a living being has heard and understood that deliverance is within his

reach, he will never forget, for it is the first message from within. It will

take roots and grow and in due course take the blessed shape of the Guru.

Q: So all we are concerned with is the redemption of the mind.

M: What else? The mind goes astray, the mind returns home. Even the word

'astray' is not proper. The mind must know itself in every mood. Nothing is a

mistake unless repeated.
