If you are berating yourself, please understand that the ego is talking. This is not helpful. Here’s a more effective way: You may make a mistake that you have made countless times before, but patiently bringing your awareness to it, will lead you to not be able to make this mistake again. This is different than trying to manage or fix yourself. Just understanding yourself better, gaining true-self-knowledge, heals you and your life. The key is to become interested in what is going on inside. We should ask ourself ‘Why am I like this?’ Have patience with yourself and the process. Insights will gradually bubble up organically as you keep going. Perhaps just hearing this message of how it works, will help.

And if you're doing any negative,

Self-critical negative,

That's ego.

It's always ego.

You know,

Say,

As you learn to witness,

You might watch yourself make a mistake.

You might watch yourself make the same mistake that you've made countless times,

But now you're aware of it.

And being aware of it means that it's moving to that you won't make the same mistake again.

Because once you're aware,

You just can't do it.

It's not that you have to manage yourself or fix yourself.

It's like you just can't do it again because you know it's not a great outcome.

You see,

Self-knowledge,

Self-knowledge is key.

The devotion to the Creator,

To Amma,

But if we don't have self-knowledge about ourselves,

We just walk around in blindfolds making the same mistakes over and over and praying about it.

Well,

You have to get interested.

Why am I like this?

Who am I really?

It's okay.

There's no,

Don't want you to force yourselves at all.

It will be very organic when it comes.

It will just be your next step.

All of you guys get in your own ways by trying to manage yourselves and do your journey.

So please just have patience.

But by hearing this from Pramasutha,

It will help the penny to drop over time.
