So how do we ensure that things we learn we can implement and don’t get lost? As they say, use it or lose it. So they say that the Bhagavad Gita’s approach to yoga is not at all dogmatic. It is invitational and experiential.
What the Bhagavad Gita says is It says that this is a process that can be practically experienced. Direct experience. So if we hear something and we try it out and we try it out for some time and check whether it works.
And after it works, also we may feel inspired to do it for some time. But somehow even things that work are taken away by our other work. So that’s how often something which is useful we learn we lose that.
So it’s important as much as possible to try to have the company of those who are trying something which we want to try. Because then we can become something akin to spiritual explorers. Explorers in the territory of consciousness.
So okay this says you may have heard somebody goes to the top of Mount Everest or somebody goes to Antarctica. So people are going together, they exchange their thoughts. Okay I went this way, this is what happened, this is what happened, this is what happened.
So like that if we have some friends with whom we try things out then that sharing of our experiences and sharing of our epiphanies, it has synergistic and symbiotic effect. And then not only will the learning become deeper but it lasts longer. It becomes more transformational.
So first by trying it and ideally trying it with a few other friends or making friends with those who are also trying it that can help us to benefit in a sustainable and transformational way with that knowledge.
