Radiate the Purity of Knowledge Through Continuous Learning

One morning, after completing my daily routine, I sat down to write an outline for my upcoming article when suddenly my nephew arrived at my home. I aimed to focus solely on crafting a creative outline to deliver the best piece for our publication. While I was into a deep thought of Individual brainstorming, my nephew came to me to asked a silly question which I answered and the same situation repeated for 5-6 times.

I came across a deep self realization when my view has been changed towards a life and it’s learnings. Eventually, I made the decision to stop working and dedicate time to answering all of his queries and I spent 4-5 hours with him to observe him and understand his perspective fully. He asked me 10-15 more questions out of curiosity about the how, why, and when of various situations, people, and things around him. First we should be aware of power of curiosity.

The Power of Curiosity: Asking the Right Questions

Now let’s take a pause here and think when was the last time you decided to understand how, why and when of the situation? We have written another article with the same topic – Ask the right questions, and you’ll get all the answers. You must go through it to find all your answers and bring such analysis to life. 

When I adopted a curious and problem solving mindset, I discovered that asking questions not only boosts knowledge but also sparks neuron growth in our brains.

To be a little conscious about..

Brain Laziness:

Let me share another observation from my own life. Three years ago, I attended a 3-4 hour knowledge session that led to a severe headache and drained my energy. I then realized that my day-to-day activities and habits were making my brain lazy, discouraging it from learning new things or putting in extra effort. Consequently, our lazy brains struggle to focus when presented with new information, causing us to subconsciously avoid challenging articles, topics, reels, or people.

Lack of Wisdom:

There is always learning, which we should seek to understand, striving to gain wisdom from every situation we encounter. There exists a significant disparity between performing a task for the first time and repeating it multiple times. Hence, it’s essential to reflect on our actions, identifying where we went wrong, and consciously avoiding the same mistakes to improve with each subsequent attempt.

Takes Time to Recollect and May Tend to Forget:

Have you ever wondered why our brain takes time to recollect things or tends to forget them easily? If our brain isn’t accustomed to actively seeking and processing information, it can lead to situations where we struggle to recall important details such as names or specific situations. Additionally, we may forget things because we’ve stopped asking the right questions to stimulate our brain’s retrieval processes. Therefore, it’s important for us to refrain from relying solely on internet searches and instead engage in independent inquiry and critical thinking.

Learning Becomes a Big Tragedy:

As mentioned earlier, if our brain is not habitual to learning, we face difficulties when attempting to grasp something new. It requires additional effort to absorb and comprehend information, as our brains must create new neural pathways and patterns to accommodate unfamiliar knowledge.

Now that we have discussed the consequences of not maintaining a learning or curious mindset, let’s move on to discussing some practical tips to avoid falling into the ignorance trap. 

Let’s begin…

A Child Like Mindset:

Baby talking and questioning to parents

We should actively ask questions about everything that happens around us. However, it’s crucial to avoid applying logic when it’s unnecessary and avoid bombarding others with unnecessary questions. This approach will bring curiosity and help us remain present in the moment.

Here are some things that can bring curiosity into our lives:

  1. First and foremost, bring curiosity and be ready to learn anything that will contribute to gaining more knowledge.
  2. Ask meaningful questions to your mind. While it may seem simplistic, I always try this technique to understand what is happening around me and how my mind is processing it.
  3. Keep hunger to find answers to all the “Wh” questions (What, When, How) about everything you face.

A Conscious Learning:

I recommend incorporating intentional learning into your daily routine, just like we regularly practice important tasks. This type of learning acts as exercise for our brain.

Here are some simple ways to do this:

  1. Take online courses. You can find free ones that are worth your time. Blocking out time on your calendar will ensure you make time for it, despite your daily schedule.
  2. Read at least one informative article every day. Choose a topic you enjoy. If you’re interested in life philosophy or spiritual science, you can visit LifeSutrasKet for articles on these subjects.
  3. Form your own group or league with friends to discuss new things you’ve learned.
  4. Set goals to learn a new skill, language, or take a course on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Pinch of Information in Knowledge:

Yes, that’s correct. Let’s start by understanding the difference between Knowledge and Information. According to the Britannica Dictionary, “Knowledge is what you learn from experience or education, like awareness, understanding, or skills. Information, on the other hand, is just the facts or details about a subject.”

Now, here are some simple steps to follow:

  1. Pay attention to the details of anything you read, hear, or discuss. Dive deeper into topics to satisfy your curiosity and learn more.
  2. Try explaining things to others. When we talk about what we know, our brain organizes the information we already have, helping us understand better and remember longer. Explaining things to others also helps us refine our understanding.
  3. Keep updating your knowledge regularly. This will not only enhance your understanding but also broaden your perspectives on different subjects.
  4. Try to remember important numbers or names of people, things, or places. This will help you retain information better and recall it when needed.

Brainstorming Activities will help You Bring Wisdom:

Start brainstorming with yourself. Begin by identifying your top five problems and select the most significant one to address. This approach offers two benefits: firstly, it primes your brain to automatically tackle any future challenges it encounters, and secondly, it helps you overcome mental barriers by actively addressing them.

Here are some additional activities to consider:

  1. Engage with experts to discuss problems and brainstorm solutions.
  2. Play brainstorming games such as Chess or Sudoku to stimulate creative thinking.
  3. Incorporate math problem-solving into your daily routine to exercise your analytical skills.
  4. Spend time with people who enjoy discussing topics related to knowledge, trends, and numbers.

Read, Read and Read:

Reading has various psychological benefits for our minds. Therefore, we should try to read whenever we have some free time. Since we all lead busy lives, we shouldn’t wait for spare moments to read a book. Instead, we should actively search for reading material that interests us and read it to expand our knowledge. Reading helps our minds learn new words and gather information.

  1. To make reading a habit, it’s important to find a genre that we enjoy.
  2. We can start by reading storybooks or comics and then progress to non-fiction books that pique our interest.
  3. It’s beneficial to set a daily goal for reading and stick to it by reading a minimum number of pages each day.
A library with books to read in peace

We should nurture a curious mindset and continuously seek  knowledge that can greatly benefit our personal growth and mental well-being. By grabbing learning opportunities, engaging in critical thinking, and staying open to new experiences, we empower ourselves to be best in an ever-evolving world. The most crucial aspect is to gain the right kind of knowledge from the right kind of people; choose your circle wisely.

Childhood: Path of Our Future

Rishabh was worried about Aayush’s overall behaviour at home. He also discussed this concern with his wife, Riya. Aayush is the 15-year-old child of these stressed parents. Both of them are working parents. The maid, Nilam, manages the household and tends to the needs of 15-year-old Aayush.

Life for Aayush is a mix of excitement and challenges. Aayush has some habits that are not so great, though. He likes to do things his way and sometimes gets into trouble with the adults in town. Homework and chores are like a puzzle for him. Aayush also tends to make choices that worry the people at home, like taking risks that make everyone hold their breath. As the neighbours and Nilam whisper about his life, they’re all hoping Aayush can figure things out and turn his story around for the better.

On a quiet Sunday morning, Riya and Rishabh engaged in a thoughtful conversation about Aayush’s future. They pondered over the stream he might choose for admission, the college that would be the best fit, and the ideal degree for his aspirations. The air was filled with anticipation as they shared their insights and hopes for Aayush’s educational journey. Aayush listened to their conversation, got involved directly, and started adding his points. After all, this conversation was going to decide his future. 

Rishabh got angry and shouted at him, saying, “You, dumbest child, are not allowed to speak while elders are talking.” Aayush went directly to his room, crying and locking himself. He was not eating for the next 2–3 days, as he was not even considering his own life decisions.

Parents play a vital role in shaping their children’s behavior and teaching them good habits. Through effective behavior techniques, parents can guide their children towards positive behavior at home and in school. By setting clear expectations, enforcing consistent consequences, and modeling good behavior themselves, parents can help their children develop socially, emotionally, and academically. It is crucial for parents to strike a balance between discipline and love, considering their child’s individual needs and temperament. Creating a supportive and nurturing environment is key to fostering good behavior and personal growth.

In today’s lifestyle, most parents stay out of work and do not get enough time to spend with their children. Hence, children lack discipline, good habits, and overall excellence in life. Parents are unaware of their child’s likes and dislikes or if a child is facing any challenges in life. A child spends their time on their mobile phone when they just start talking or understanding words. Hence, we require additional activities to open ourselves up. We have lost the true essence of family. A non-traditional family structure or separation has caused a silent, challenging childhood in every home.

Here, we will discuss the most important things to remember when raising a child with great deeds. Every child is the future of your family and the country and it is in unmolded form

Listen to your child:

Listening to your child is a cornerstone of effective and nurturing parenting. It goes beyond hearing words; it involves active engagement and understanding. When you truly listen to your child, you create an environment where they feel valued and heard, fostering a healthy parent-child relationship. It allows them to express their thoughts, concerns, and emotions, promoting emotional well-being.

Feed with great thoughts and manners:

Feeding your child with great thoughts and manners involves instilling positive values and behaviours from an early age. Just as we nourish their bodies with nutritious food, we should also nourish their minds with positive ideas and manners. This includes teaching them about kindness, empathy, and respect for others. By fostering a positive mental environment, you contribute to the development of a well-rounded and socially conscious individual. Both listening and feeding with positive thoughts and manners are key elements in shaping a child’s growth and building a foundation for a happy and fulfilling life.

Educate a Child:

Educating your child is a lifelong commitment that extends beyond the classroom. It involves fostering a love of learning, curiosity, and critical thinking skills. As a parent, you play a crucial role in providing educational support, encouraging exploration, and instilling a sense of wonder about the world. This holistic approach to education contributes to a child’s intellectual and emotional development, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities life presents.:

Communication brightens Life:

Communication is the key to understanding and being understood. Encourage an open and honest dialogue with your child, creating an environment where they feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings. By communicating everything, you establish trust and strengthen the parent-child bond. This open line of communication is essential for navigating challenges, building resilience, and promoting emotional well-being.

Good Habits in the Early Days of Life:

Instilling good habits in the early days of life lays the foundation for a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. From basic routines like regular sleep patterns and balanced nutrition to cultivating positive behaviours, such as responsibility and empathy, these habits contribute to a child’s overall well-being and character development. Early exposure to positive habits sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy choices and personal growth.

Limited Social or Device life:

In the age of technology and social media, it’s important to strike a balance and keep social and device interactions limited. While technology has its advantages, excessive screen time can impede social development and physical well-being. Encourage real-world social interactions, outdoor activities, and a healthy balance between virtual and offline experiences. This approach fosters a well-rounded upbringing, ensuring that your child develops both in the digital and tangible realms.

In conclusion, fostering the growth and development of your child involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing education, communication, instilling positive habits, and managing digital engagement.

In parenting, our role is not only to provide for our children but also to actively participate in shaping their character and preparing them for the complexities of life.
