One who reflects (on oneself sincerely) through the Guru�s Shabad is truly educated, scholarly, and wise. -Guru Amar Das, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 650
Message:�Continuous reading improves reasoning and comprehension skills, thus leading to self-reflection and self-analysis. Self-reflection guides us into our inner-selves and moves us towards being righteous persons as we show more gratitude and appreciation of our surroundings.
We should strive to educate ourselves by reading and understanding the teachings of the Gurus. Reflection upon the words of Gurbani is a wonderful tool for self-awareness. This awareness will provide the means to more acceptance of the shortfalls and successes of everyday life.�
The acquired wisdom will elevate us to self-improvement and liberate us from our shortcomings and deficiencies. Collective knowledge and discerning mindsets will direct us to salvation, here and now. Thus, we will truly become learned and wise.
Thinking is an experimental dealing with small quantities of energy, just as a general moves miniature figures over a map before setting his troops in action. -Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, 1856-1939
