There are no mistakes in self inquiry

Walk away from “right answers”
1

There are no mistakes

In self-inquiry.

There is no -

'Learning from mistakes’.

If at all –

The learning is the mistake.

So for example, if you ask:

'What is beyond the mind?’

The mind doesn't know,

So, you do not know!

And if you fill in that question,

With an answer that was given -

By someone else, or -

by yourself, as a guess,

That’s obviously a mistake!

Even if the answer is so-called –

Perfect, complete, and truthful.


But if, on the other hand,

You meet that question –

Without knowing,

And, as you look into it –

The answer as if comes from itself,

The very incompleteness, and the very

'partiality of observation’,

In that answer,

Which could be considered –

as a mistake,

That is the learning.


So,

Walk away from “right answers”,

Embrace mistakes that

Come from not knowing.

Now you're learning.
