Old and mature!?
ОглавлениеIt is a nice idea that, as the years advance, we automatically grow smarter. If this were true, there would be no more problems in this world, and certainly not the same kinds of problems we already had in the stone ages!
Often, the older generations ought to learn from the younger ones about approaching matters in a new and different way. Otherwise there is a danger of grinding to a spiritual halt by the pointless repetition of traditions.
Maturity, as we can see now, has nothing to do with age. We can grow older and still have learnt nothing from our experiences. True maturity can only be achieved by being willing to learn, and this has nothing to do with age. There are many young people considerably more mature in spirit than most of the older generations. It is hard to understand why those young people are not taken more seriously.
If you love the truth, everyone everywhere is your teacher. You are forever a student of truth. This is why you will not age; you will grow smarter and more mature. If you overcome your ego by being willing to learn, you will age more slowly and truly enjoy your life!
