July 19, 2024: The Ultimate Teacher

Don't wait for a guru. Your life is your guru."
⁃ Krishna Das

Life truly is our ultimate teacher. Sometimes it gives us a test and then from that we learn the lesson. Sometimes it gives the lesson first through wise counsel from parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts. In those instances we have an opportunity to benefit from the lesson before we get the test . Whether we learn from the mistakes of others, the successes of others, or through our own mistakes and successes, it is important that we learn. It is in the learning from whatever source that we eventually acquire some wisdom which we may inturn pass on to our descendants. If we are to be lifelong learners, here is the main concept for us to internalize. "Life is the teacher, we are the student and class is always in session." Learn all you can and use what you learn to enrich not only your life, but the lives of those around you.
