Fishing Before You Know How To Fish
मछली पकड़ने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे मछली को पकड़ना है-कोर्टनी मार्टिन द्वारा
देवदार और मेपल के पेड़ के पार से मैं उसे सुनता हूं।
अगर मुझे मछली पकड़ना नहीं आता तो मुझे मछली पकड़ने नहीं जाना चाहिए था।
अगर मुझे मछली पकड़ना नहीं आता तो मुझे मछली पकड़ने नहीं जाना चाहिए था।
वहाँ खड़ी है वह
पैर अविश्वसनीय रूप से लंबे
गुलाबी और काले गोल गोल बिंदु (पोल्का डॉट) छपे हुए ढीले ढाले तैराकी पोशाक में,
उसके हाथ में छड़ (मछली पकड़ने का साधन, बंसी)
और थोड़े से अंडाकार में सूर्यमछली (सनफिश) उसके काँटे पर अविश्वसनीय रूप से।
मैं उसे बताता नहीं, लेकिन मुझे लगता है
ओह, प्यारी लड़की, जीवन हमेशा ऐसा ही होता है।
मछली पकड़ने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे मछली पकड़ना है।
छोड़ने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे छोड़ना है।
बोलने से पहले आप बोलना जानते हैं।
लड़ने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे लड़ना है।
प्यार करने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे प्यार करना है।
मरने से पहले आप जानते हैं कि कैसे मरना है।
हम सब उस छड़ वाले बच्चे हैं
जो इस बात की चिंता कर रहे हैं कि हमने किसी को चोट तो नहीं पहुंचाई है।
और हम सब काँटे पर लगी मछलियाँ भी हैं,
करुणा की आशा में।
उसकी बुआ उसकी बुदबुदाती प्रार्थना सुनती है
और हालांकि उसने 30 वर्षों में एक भी मछली को काँटे से निकाला नहीं है
कसमसाती मासूम को अपने हाथों में पकड़ लेती है
और गाल में धंसी धातु को निकाल देती है।
और यह भी हम सभी करते हैं।
बार-बार प्रार्थना के द्वारा बचाए गए हम, और हमें पता ही नहीं था कि हम ही प्रार्थना कर रहे हैं
और एक साक्षी जिसे हमने भुला दिया, सुन रहा था।
मनन के लिए मूल प्रश्न: आप इस धारणा से कैसे संबंधित हैं कि जीवन कभी-कभी हमें उस स्थान पर ले आता है जहां हमारी निपुणता अपर्याप्त होती है? क्या आप एक व्यक्तिगत कहानी साझा कर सकते हैं जब प्रार्थना ने आप की सहायता की हो, और आप जानते ही नहीं थे कि वो प्रार्थना आप ही कर रहे थे और एक साक्षी जिसे आप भूल गए थे वह सुन रहा था? निपुणता की कमी होने पर, अज्ञात का सहारा लेने में आपको क्या मदद करता है।

SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you relate to the notion that life sometimes brings us to a spot where our proficiency is insufficient? Can you share a personal story of a time you were saved by a prayer you didn't know you were saying and a witness you forgot was listening? What helps you lean into the unknown when faced with a lack of proficiency?

I never assume I'm proficient but am often the best option available. Mostly I'm willing to be brave.

So many things in this world need to be learned. Yet the greatest act of all, opening our heart to those around us and realizing that in this is the world contained, needs not to be learned but to be remembered. For it is as close to our nature as the very act of breathing, only obscured by clouds of complexity. May we remember to love and find that we are masters at play!

Having read this I thought it was very enlightening. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this information together.
I once again find myself personally spending a lot of
time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!

Every situation is new and different to a small or large degree, so life constantly brings us to spots where our proficiency is insufficient to some degree. Life happens other than planned, before we are ready, and our challenge is to deal with life situations with the proficiency we have. If prayer is whatever saves me, including good fortune, then I was saved by prayer. However, I don't think I was saved by prayer as usually defined. I think I've been saved by good fortune and all existence interacting in a way favorable for me plus my limited but good judgment and choices. I believe a witness is a part of all that is and contributes to how a situation works out. What helps me lean into the unknown is knowing we live in the unknown and I will deal with the realities presented to me either well or not well, and chances are I will survive and gain more proficiency for dealing with the next spot.

There are two ways of learning and knowing. One way is reading, talking, and discussing and reflecting. The other way is knowing by doing, by experimenting and by experiencing. I use both ways. However
I know from my own expereince that real and deep learning happens by doing, by deeply reflecting with an unclouded and quiet mind.
When I learn with an open, clear and quiet mind I learn from myself and by myself. Such learning has helped me walk in the right direction and that helps me how to "fish", how to get what is really precious and how to enrich my inner life.
I have learnt from my expereinces the way how to relate to life.
Such learning requires an open and unbiassed mind. It reqires quiet and clear mind and an earnest desire to let go what binds me and blinds me.
Namaste!

The clincher for me was the last line. ..and the witness we forgot was listening. " This one is loaded. When you approach something as sn observer rather than a participant, the notion of not knowing seems to back away with your observation. Then. The activity also appears like having been undertaken before. QBQ here is, is that why when one becomes conscious of an observer or of your own observation, the activity no longer is natural and stops being as effective.
