How To Learn this Subject (Or Any) [ THREE STEPS OF LEARNING PROCESS]

To learn any Subject, One Must Learn to Quietly Listen to it before Accepting Or Rejecting the Idea.

The process recommended for this vedantic teaching (As One may have his/her own philosophies of life)  is as follows:

• Simply Listening to what is being told by a Competent Person. At this point you should not develop any bias and hence at this stage don't have to ask any questions. (Sravanam) 
• Reflecting on the thoughts presented to you. At this point, You can make a decision as to whether to accept the ideas or not. (Mananam)
  
• Applying this knowledge in your life is the final step, where most of the people falter. "Great Topic of discussion.. I have accepted it. But I don't 'know'/ 'have time' to apply it in my life." This is a very important step and many fail at this step.[The typical "Do as I say , Not what I do" philosophy that parents typically impose on their children.] You have to live in what you truely believe and apply it in your daily life.  (Nidhidhyaasanam)
