EXPERIENCE MAKETH THE MAN

Peter Steven Malakoff narrates that "What Kabir talks about is only what he has lived through; if you have not lived through something, it is not true." Agathiyar tells me that there is no true or false as such; our experience shows us which is which. Agathiyar says there is no right or wrong. Neither does he differentiate nor endorse the right from the wrong. We only have choices. We only know if we had made the right choice after seeing the results or outcomes of our selection. It is we who determine if an action is right or wrong after going through or gaining the experience and learning a lesson from it. We become wiser from learning the lesson. This becomes a lesson to others then. People seek us out for advice for we have been there, have had the experience. Yuvarani shared Agathiyar's sayings in our group some time back, which carried a very profound and deep meaning: "You have to write your own guidebook for your journey, based on your experiences."

உனக்கு வழி காட்டும் புனிதநூல் உன்னால் மட்டுமே எழுதப்பட முடியும்.
அது உன்னுடைய அனுபவங்களைக் கொண்டுதான் எழுதப்பட வேண்டும்.
