Natural habitat
It is an interesting "concept" , when we deepen our perspective to look at its deeper aspects, implications, advantages etc!
The fastest lion/tiger has to be better than the slowest deer, if it wishes to hunt a deer for foodπ ( a tortoise, with all the strengths of a lion, leopard or tiger is no threat to a deer…π)
I don't know if……a 5th generation of a deer_family will be able to retain its great_great_great grandpa's speed, if its 5 ancestors never had to run away from a lion etc in that forest…π
A concrete swimming pool, training kids to swim….has an inflated rubber tube, or some jacket, to prevent drowning….a guard also.
Go to the huts at the sea shore….kids will say "i don't know" in reply to a question "when did you learn to swim?"( They even cut_across powerful sea waves for funπ)
Spiritual giants preferred a "natural habitat" for their disciples!
Gurukul ( ancient schools) knew what was "education" ( distinctly different from literacyππππ….. once education is good, literacy naturally flows in π)
The essential ingredients of "good"( quality education), was obviously the core fundamentals of wisdom π
Thus, gurukuls ( location was wisely decided upon as "forest" …. vulnerability keeps alertness+ awareness at its peak, in any forest!... Original residents of a forest are blessed with major ingredients of common sense, namely, alertness awareness and focusπ)
Syllabus for any Gurukul ( LKG level)
how to learn
how to deepen perception
how to stabilize emotions
how to make use of sense of discrimination
Please try to visualise these 4 qualities inside you, at a very exalted high level ππππ…. and see how you might be experiencing lifeπ
Yashpal Kapoor once conceded …..he learnt how to predict rain, 3 days ahead with accuracy, from a certain tribals in a forest, who taught him "how to observe the movements of ants, when there is a rain incoming, 3 days hence" ( incidentally, he mentioned access to super computer "param" which was deployed to also predict weather/rain…by scientists ππ, and yet the rate of accuracy was non_dependableπ)...
Tribals ( as also any forest dweller) in India, during ancient times were enjoying the luxury of natural habitat for honing their "wisdom"( if we can afford to recall the deeper significance of the wordπ)
