Pace of Understanding

Understanding is a natural process and it takes time.  There is no comparison of this process with other natural processes like growing of a tree, filling of a jar with water, learning of a language, etc...  It is the process of qualitative change in self (jeevan), which results in consciousness development.

I think, each student has his own pace of understanding.  The teacher can inspire the student, but the pace of understanding is student's personal, it can't be forced on him.  The student needs to recognize his pace, and move with his own pace, firmly and resolutely.  One need not do any idealistic excesses for increasing this pace...  For the simple reason - these excesses do not work!  There is no need to glorify such foolhardy excesses, because this undue glorification can be misleading.

The evolution of nature is gradual, it has a sense of fluidity, each evolution stage gently morphs into the next evolution stage. Perhaps consciousness development process would also be like a gradual morphing...

I think, after a stage, there is a need to let go...
