Tapas is the courage to make mistakes🔗

Many times, we are so afraid to make a small mistake that we end up making big blunders!

When spiritual awakening happens to you, suddenly you have to shift your whole lifestyle to align it with the new truth. You have to let go of your old belief system, your old identity, and your old way of functioning.

However at that time, if you cannot find the courage or the strength to follow the spiritual opening, you will fall back into your old ways.

Take the risk and jump! Start to live without calculating. This is what I call virya - courage; the courage to live the spiritual life.

When you take the jump, you will naturally make a few mistakes; don't worry. Allowing yourself to make mistakes and learn is what I call tapascharya performing tapas.

When you move from ephemeral consciousness to eternal consciousness, when you move from worry to bliss, and when you move from asatya to satya, you will make one or two mistakes.

You will fall and rise, just like a small child when it tries to walk. That is the child's tapas - when it learns how to walk! Is any child going to stop trying to walk just

because it falls down a few times?

No!

In the same way, when you start trying to live beyond your usual logic, naturally it is going to be difficult for you. So far, you have been living safely within your comfort zone, and now you are exploring unknown territory. Naturally, you are going to make some mistakes.

Tapas is nothing but accepting the small mistakes which you may make when the conscious transition happens in your being. That is tapascharya.

Have courage and just enter into the zone beyond the mind.
