SMALL MISTAKES

We do not get hurt by mountain, we get hurt by small stones.

(Zindagi me hame pahadon se nahi, chhote pattharon se thokar lagati hai)

We must identify our small mistakes, our minor wrong doings and try to rectify it and overcome it. Once we begin on the path of overcoming our small shortcoming, we will automatically be on the path of bigger goal.

Lord Krishna said to Arjuna in Bhagwad Geeta;

"Urdhvamoolamadhah Shakhamashvattham Praahuravyayam |

Chhanaadaashi Yasya Parnaani Yastam Ved sa Vedavit || (cH 15:1)

O, Arjuna! this world is like a tree, whose roots are facing towards heaven and branches downward. You need to prune all the small branches of greed, hatreds, jealously, dishonesty, anger, desire, attachment, ego etc. 

These are the qualities of Rajas and Tamas nature and they take you downward. Once you get rid of these qualities from your life then you will automatically begin journey on Satva Guna and you will be able to realize the truth of Aatma.

Remember, it's always small mistakes that hinder our journey.

A criminal is not born by birth but harbouring small mistakes and wrong doing, gives birth to a criminal instinct in a human being.

(Zindagi me hame pahadon se nahi, chhote pattharon se thokar lagati hai)
