Experience is not the be-all, and end-all, of life

Experience helps the doctor in diagnosing you but it is equally important that he has a caring compassionate feeling heart too

The experience of life is not the same as life, as many things lie behind life, that experience can never touch. These are the intangible truths, felt in your heart, but never experienced by your mind, body, or soul entirely, because they are God attributes, placed in your heart to keep you purified for him. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller, an American writer, (1880 to 1988) said that. “The only source of knowledge is experience.” Albert Einstein, that greatest of physicists, (1879 to 1955) said this. And yet, he misses the point entirely here. Knowledge in the form of truth, exists independently to experience. Truth, not experienced, is only half a truth, and yet the other half is important too, to be felt as known in your heart as a given, given to you by God as innate knowing. Knowing and experience must tread the same path together then, for love to blaze in your life, and not burn you from experience alone.

Experience can lead us to the truth and what life is about. However, we tend to make the impact of experience superficial without connecting it to the heart. Experience does play a part but we need to listen to the inner knowing too.

Which comes first though, the chicken, or the egg, the experience, or the ego, the heart, or the mind? Each part must play its part, but not try to trump any other part on the stage of life, where all parts must be allowed to play their part for us too.

@Shiva49 Yes, learning to walk the balance beam of life is perhaps one of the most useful things that we can learn in life. An unbalanced life always leads us to some sort of a disaster,

@innertalks It is a fine balancing act. It can be like a mother's love as she loves all her children equally. Of course, our creator has set the perfect example of par excellence.
