What is an Experience?
Yesterday 'Auli' explained that very nicely while sharing her experience.
Experience is not achieving anything in this world or getting anything (including happiness).
It is the learning we derive from the events taking place in our lives. Most of the times we are so lost in generating material happiness through myriad means that we miss out on the real happiness which is through expanding our lives. We have to expand our lives through the infinite events taking place in the environment involving us. It so happens that only a major event in our life gives a jerk and makes us realise, giving us the experience. If we are awake (in real sense), each moment is an experience. Each moment adds something to our life, if only we are there to grasp and take it with us. When we can do that then the happiness and the sorrow are not two different things. These are only the experiences giving something meaningful to the life thus allowing us to expand our life. Let us resolve today to take every moment as an experience and allow that experience to expand our life. In this way each moment will be giving us a life force which is unimaginable.
A yogi keeps gaining this life force every moment and hence the radiance on his face and the youthfulness and elegance in his personality.
