FEAR

Whenever a boundary is broken, it creates some fear. This fear creates aversion; this aversion in turn brings you back inside the boundary and to keep yourself in the boundary, you set up defences. But when you try to defend your position, it becomes a stress and every time you work to defend your position it makes you weaker.
On the path, people use even knowledge as a defnse against criticism. Do not use knowledge as a defense. Knowledge is like an umbrella for you - a shelter, not a weapon. Of course, sometimes "do not use knowledge as a weapon" becomes as an excuse not to be in knowledge.
Drop all your defences. Anyone can make a mistake - even you. Do not defend your mistakes, just accept them and move on. When you are totally defenceless, that is when you eill be completely strong.
