Meaning, age bestows at least some inherent wisdom, it lessens the passions of the body, the "novelty" of life is reduced. Thus, does aging confer some "unearned" steps towards enlightenment, along the path that the Gita outlines?
In my own situation, I find it easier to have less strong attachments to ego, emotion, others, and so on. But this doesn't feel "earned" so much as simply "given" by the biomedical process of aging.
Any thoughts on this?
