Mistakes happen all the time. Often you get irritated by mistakes and you want to correct them, but how many can you correct? You correct others’ mistakes for two reasons.

任何时候都有错误发生。通常你被错误激怒，然后你想要纠正它。但你纠正了多少呢？你纠正他人的过错基于两种原因。

The first is when someone’s mistake bothers you, and the second is when you correct someone for their own sake so they can grow, not because it bothers you. Correcting mistakes for the first reason – when the mistake bothers you – does not work.

一是因为你被这些过失困扰，二是你希望他人变得更好，能够成长，与本身受困扰无关。如果你是基于前者而纠正他人，即你深受困扰，那是行不通的。

To correct mistakes you need both authority and love. Authority and love seem to be contradictory but in reality they are not. Authority without love is stifling and does not work. Love without authority is shallow. You need both but they need to be in the right combination so you can be successful in correcting others’ mistakes. This can happen if you are totally dispassionate and centered. When you allow room for mistakes, you can be both authoritative and sweet. That is how the Divine is – the right balance of both. Krishna and Jesus had both. People in love also exercise authority with those they love. Authority and love exist in all relationships.

你需同时具备权威和爱以纠正他人的过错。没有爱的权威显得僵硬，没有权威的爱又显得肤浅。你需要两者适度的结合以取得纠正他人过错的成果。这在你完全处于不动心，安于本我的核心时将会发生。当你允许犯错的空间，你可以甜美地带有权威。神性就是如此，在这两者中取得平衡。上主克里斯那和耶稣就两者兼备。在爱里的人也会对他们所爱之人行使他们的权威。爱和权威存在于每种关系里。
