I've always interpretted "no mistake" as meaning that a mistake is something that detracts from one's evolution towards higher states of consciousness. One could say that as someone evolves, this "no mistake" thing evolves to include more than one's own personal evolution, or rather, that more and more, one's own personal evolution depends on everyone else's, but I've never seen MMY as claiming that enlightened people never make typos or whatever. ------------------------ Yahoo!
