Infinite learnings......

The physical part of learning could be sequential but wise people clearly see that it essentially merges with infinite. There is a poetic justice in this ..... since any thing (including knowledge) which emerges from a timeless infinity is destined to merge back to the same source...isn't it ?

Well, I am sure you would have observed this - when we become adults, any new learning always become truly blissful because it becomes a pattern of connections in our brains - with unknown things getting connected with things that we know already. I used the adjective "blissful" because we become capable of enjoying even this process of learning too which we never would have appreciated those days when we "studied" in our earlier part of our life. (YES, Studies is a different world altogether....Learning starts much later)

As I ponder on this subject (I mean, the "learning" process), I can clearly understand there are more dimensions to it... An important aspect of learning is about enjoying the depth of it which of course is about the time element which is inseparable to our lives.
I mean, we seemingly understand some thing which takes a U turn with turn of some events that might happen ....and (hold your breath...) in course of further time, give us the realization that our original understanding was picture perfect.....!!

But then, there are two aspects to this clarity -
  • We should not have solidified our earlier learning and be willing to re-look the past; 
  • The first and the final learning - though might be similar - will never be the same...
 Well, As I had a glimpse of the date of the earlier posting made by me (which was Feb 2012) and today's date - it makes me wonder if it is really a healthy sign to start off with such an abstract (isn't it so clear still ??) musings after a space of one year....!!

With the turn of events around my earlier posting (marriage of niece) in this past 300 & so days, I am fully appreciative of the fact that silence is pregnant with more meaning and learnings - much more than and thru' the words spelled out....

But then, with my everlasting and craving need to speak and to share ("Vaarthai Thavam"), here I am trying to do the best with the finite words that we pick up from this vast AGANDAM....

Well, this was just  a prelude for my next two postings. Perhaps if you have not made out any thing from this one, I am sure you will understand it clearly after going thru' the next two postings.
In case you are patient enough, I would beg you to re-read this posting once again...Perhaps I might make sense !!

Yeah, Silence might be Gold....
but then
Speech is still Silver; Need not be scrapped altogether...

Warm Regards // Suren
