My name is Yash. I am a person who bases the outlook of life based on my experience. I would really appreciate or consider words based on their experience, but you know every one has their own unique experiences, but one who avoids mind to stay as it is with out any pollution from around and gets deep into meditation, that's when people start realizing what life is and beyond. I would love to resonate with such experiences. I am constant seeker and will be :)

Namaste,

Welcome to the forum.

Your method of learning is very sound but as a wise old man said, 'We don't have enough years in life to learn everything from personal experiences'. That is why we draw upon the experiences and realizations of learned sages. Nothing wrong with accelerating your spiritual growth by borrowing things from people who have treaded the path before us. And the price is right too. :) It is all free.

So, take it for what it is worth.

Pranam.

Sure, thanks :)

Vannakkam Yanantha: Welcome to these forums. Personally, I resonate with the idea of experience being the greatest teacher. With it comes great wisdom, but as Believer said, sometimes others can point to the types of experiences that are more fruitful in our path that others.

Think of the numbers of people who say ... eventually ... "Gee I wish I would have listened to my parents."
