Does Egoic Advancement Only Come Through Quiet Times?

 

Many experiences which lead us to Egoic growth are far from quiet; still it is not only the experience itself, but what we do with it and our attitudes toward it that help us to grow. The statement concerning quiet may refer to the time one spends contemplating what he has experienced. If time can be spent evaluating one’s reactions to experiences, a meaningful lesson may be derived from an otherwise undifferentiated array of emotions and responses. Many of us become so involved in ceaseless activity at the behest of bosses, parents, teachers and spouses that we forget to seek quiet and focus on the things which are truly important in our lives.  (02-1972)
