Learning skills

 Learning skills

Conceptually, teaching and learning skills are interspersed.

If it is really so, then it follows that the functionality of these two are both, complementary as well as supplementary to each other. Complementary in reaching peak levels of productivity, results. Supplementary, to deal with inadequacy in either of the two, teacher or student.

Usually, the type of present day students are broadly of 4 types

1). just curious to know, how much the teacher knows

2). willing to listen and enjoy as long as the student finds it acceptable

3). willing to even learn, only those things which the student finds it comfortable to learn, or…compromises if compelled to learn.

4). Here, the student surrenders to a teacher " do whatever is needed with me, but somehow make me learn🙏

We don't get to see the 4th type easily, or often.

3rd type depends inversely proportional to the comfort zone that the student can afford. ( example: a fellow going to live in a submarine will be constrained to learn if somebody can teach " how to breathe through skin" nose wasn't used during stay in water for 9 months in the womb. Duryodhana knew to stay underwater for long duration 😜… example 2: an illiterate mom wouldn't argue that she isn't literate when a doctor says " xscufs is the medicine, get it in 40 minutes if you want your child to live" she simply byhearts "xscufs" the way it sounds, and utters it at the medical shop. No time to write a prescription etc… example 3: question paper leaked at 10 hours to go for exam. A fellow desparate to just pass, struggles to get byheart and manages to write the answer, repeating the text words "for fig. 23, turn to page 147" )

1st and 2nd type of students, are dime a dozen 🙏….no example needed.

A student who happens to learn any or all of the following?

How to….. 1)learn, 2)deepen perception 3) stabilize emotions 4)use the already available item 'sense of discrimination'.....

He depends very less on the teaching skills of a teacher.

Suppose a teacher can teach even one_of_these_4 ….???( Oh! Great 👍)

Look at freaks, who are quick and early learners…( these four or any of them has_to_be_present)

Why would a student be interested in spirituality?
