Teaching myself

 Not quite easy....😰

"After college, what?" Was the "topic" among my classmates, during the end of our degree course at college.

All of them dived into "good job"....etc.

Except me.

I was trapped into "who will teach me, hereafter?"

I ended up into how to do this  "teaching myself!" ( no more of outsourcing of teaching).

I had to look at what to learn, how to learn, and then how to teach-it to myself!  Self-learning didn't seem to suffice. The process of "teaching" seemed more comprehensive, when I saw that  teachers taught me and my learning was better.

And thus, started the "game" of asking-myself, those silly-questions.

The "question" replaced the teachers-way of giving homework, tests, grades and marks. 

I started deepening the questions .

Why do we omit grasp of concepts when we come across definitions of certain things, abstract or otherwise? 

Why does certain ailments like jaundice, varicose veins etc need a live-herbal medicines of Ayurveda, when allopathic medicines are unavailable at all? 

Why do people converse without any communication ( texting or chatting), when the basic purpose was supposed to be of some-kind-of value-addition during any verbal-interaction?

Spiritual arena was mostly "figure it out by yourself" basis, when the Guru seldom "taught" like at the school. He merely describes "how a spiritual practice is done?". Rest is a discovery process😭. We have to evolve,  in spirituality!  No spoon-feeding. No copypasting.  No exams, evaluation,  marks etc. 

Yours, teacher & taught,
