043 - Brahmagyan

Once a beggar like person went to the philosopher Aristotle and pleaded for Brahmagyan.

The philosopher looked at him from head to toe and said, "Start washing your clothes and combing your hair daily.... make mistakes but do not repeat the same mistake. Reflect and learn from mistakes. Real sadhana (tapasya) is to introspect and correct the mistakes."

He paused for a while and said, "This path leads to godhood."
