Our lives as distinct individuals and as social
beings overlap much, and the same is true for the problems and their solutions.
However, our perceptions and the ways we view the things individually differ a
lot.
When
we try to seek solutions to our problems through seemingly logical discussions
in some forums we make use of the obvious tools of our intellect and the words
that have as many different meanings as there are numbers of people involved in
a discussion. In various forums we often come out with the presentable forms of
our problems and opinions, and rarely with our actual problems and honest
opinions. The result is that we invariably waste much of our precious time and
energy only for the trivial outcome of identifying the highest common factors
related to the presentable forms our problems.
There
is no substitute for deep and sincere contemplation in silence and aloneness
commensurate with genuine experiencing and experimentation, and also the Satsangs
as natural and informal sources for internalizing the existing wisdom. No
doubt, only such contemplation has always been the source of the collective
wisdom.
