Learning and sorrow

If you are interested in looking out of the window and I want you to look at a book, what shall I do? Learn how to attend and pay attention. We learn something, store it in the brain as memory, and respond from memory when asked. Do you read poetry? Do you feel sorrow when a bird dies? What is sorrow?

You become insensitive if you get used to anything

Are you happy here at this school? If I scold you or am rough with you or say something harsh, you get hurt. The moment you get hurt build a wall not to get hurt more, which is the beginning of insensitivity. If you have fear, you become insensitive. When we take each other for granted, what does that mean? To become sensitive, watch very carefully that you don’t fall into habit. The deep study of mathematics is discovering order in the universe, in numbers, and also discovering if you have order in yourself.
