________________ Aptavani-6 59 He who starts seeing his own mistakes - when he sees five or so of them - should realize that now the solution has begun. As many mistakes that are seen, that many mistakes leave. One may say that he keeps seeing the same mistake repeatedly. Actually, the same mistake does not come again: just as the onion has layers, each mistake has many layers. Therefore, when one layer is removed with pratikraman, another layer is there; however, the same layer does not come back. For example, if there were thirty layers, then twenty-nine will remain. When another layer goes away, twenty-eight will remain. In this manner, they will decrease to a point where the mistake is completely gone.

By 'ours' it means no one is our owner, no one is our superior. The world is ours indeed. It is worthwhile if you take the advantage of seeing this world and knowing it.

The gardens may be beautiful but they seem like poison to him. The world is forever beautiful; how wonderful these cows and buffalos look! But by associating with human beings, they have problems. Questioner: Do cows and buffalos realize that humans
