This morning I read a poem that I almost put up here.
Fishing Before You Know How To Fish — by Courtney Martin

The reason I didn't is because one of the replies struck me as a wonderful reflection on the poem itself.

The reason I didn't is because one of the replies struck me as a wonderful reflection on the poem itself.
There are two ways of learning and knowing. One way is reading, talking, and discussing and reflecting. The other way is knowing by doing, by experimenting and by experiencing. I use both ways. However
I know from my own expereince that real and deep learning happens by doing, by deeply reflecting with an unclouded and quiet mind.
When I learn with an open, clear and quiet mind I learn from myself and by myself. Such learning has helped me walk in the right direction and that helps me how to "fish", how to get what is really precious and how to enrich my inner life.
I have learnt from my expereinces the way how to relate to life.
Such learning requires an open and unbiassed mind. It reqires quiet and clear mind and an earnest desire to let go what binds me and blinds me.
Namaste!
