Living lessons

If you have not done so already, please read the post "Driving Lessons" before you read this one.

Almost everybody in the world can learn how to drive. Therefore, driving must be relatively simple task. Also, driving is not something you do every waking moment. It is only a part of your life. For that, you had to take lessons and get a license to do so.

Why do you think you can live life based on just what you learned from growing up?

Just like you get driving lessons to drive well, spirituality provides living lessons to live well. Spirituality is the knowledge that lets you respond to the road of life. It helps you be in the present moment, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the present, and at the same time responding with actions that are perfect for that present moment.

The more experienced your driving instructor, the more the chances of you ending up a better driver. The more experienced your living instructor, the spiritual master, the better the chances of transformation of your life. Just like you might figure out by which driving school/instructor is the best one by looking at the driving skills of the people from that school, choose your master and the path carefully by looking at the life the people on that path live.
