I was talking to a friend of mine the other day regarding a meditation program I was interested to attend. My friend was advising me to take it easy but I was quite determined to attend it, and I did. A month or two later for another such meditation program the same friend of mine started persuading me to attend the program where as this time I wasn't willing to.
My friend's advice to me has changed this time within a short period of time and that left me puzzled. I wasn't sure if I should have listened to him the first time and missed the event or I should listen to him now and attend the program. If I listen to him now, what is the guarantee that his opinion wouldn't change again in future.
Our opinions are nothing but a direct outcome of our past experiences and current state of mind. With each passing moment we learn new things and as a result our intelligence gets updated. With the updated intelligence and experience our opinions are bound to change as well.
If there is every possibility for a person's opinion to change, what is the basis for one to rely on some one else's opinions? And if our own opinions are bound to change as well should we rely even on ourselves?
