Admit your mistake
Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai
Enlightened ones say that if you perceive your mistake in the right way, despair can never arise. The reason for your sadness and despair is that you actually do not want to accept your mistake, but are compelled to do so. Your ego does not let you admit that you are filled with passions and mistakes. When you are caught red-handed and have to reluctantly admit, you develop complexes. This occurs when you intend to defend your ego and not honestly own up. The negative emotions reveal the importance you have given to your ego instead of admitting your fault.
If you are controlling your passions, say, anger, only so that you can protect your image, then the anger will keep erupting every now and then, because you continue to nurture its cause, the ego. Your suffering is not because you did what you shouldn’t have done, but because you could not protect yourself from being seen as guilty, you could not secure your self-created image. When the image you have created gets tainted, you cannot bear to see it. He who honestly accepts his mistake, his goal is to be pure and peaceful and so he puts right efforts to remove it.
You ask for atonement but your focus remains on the deed and not on the impurity latent in your intention. Thus, by falsely repenting and taking atonement, you try saving your image but not move in the direction of transformation.The meaning of true repentance is overcoming the passion or emotion that had led you to commit the mistake, end of the intention that prompted you to sin.

1. Title and its appropriateness:
The
title of the article is,"Admit your mistake".The author of this article is Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai. The author in this
article says that people who do not accept their mistakes but their ego
first. generally, there ego ends up empty-handed, when people are caught
red-handed, they don't accept their mistake.
In
fact they pretend that they are innocent. For people their anger and
ego have become much important. Writer says "one who honestly accepts
ones mistake, goal are to be pure and peaceful so he puts right efforts
to remove it. The meaning of true repentance is overcoming the passion
or emotion that had led us to commit mistake, end of the intention that
prompted you to sin.
Thus, I think the title is appropriate as it reflex the idea of the texts.
2. Aim of the article:
The
aim of this article is that the author wants today's people to be
strong enough to accept their mistakes. He wants people not to put their
ego and attitude first. He presented the 'mantra' of success by
accepting the mistakes. He said the person who admits his mistakes get
towards his goal early and peacefully. He said ego will only let the
person down and will make them a failure. The person who admits his
mistake is loved and respected by all.
