Whenever we do something, how do we do it?
We do it either from our experience of how we have done it before or through the experience of someone who has done it before. We can recollect from memory – we may have read about it, seen it being done or heard about it. But if we have not read or heard about it, have no personal experience of it and haven’t seen it being done before, then, could we ever do something? Chances are – no. But how does a baby, that is just born, know even with its eyes closed that it has to drink its mother’s milk to survive? Isn’t it a paradox? How is it possible for that young baby to know this? The young infant has just arrived into the world. It hasn’t been told how to do it, it hasn’t seen this before, nor has it ever experienced it - then how does this young baby do it?
This is a very important question to ponder on because this will make us realize certain truths that will help us uncover the mystery of life. But before we can uncover the mystery of life, we must stop and ponder on this: How is it possible for this young baby to be born and start doing things that nobody has taught it to do; things that he has never experienced before? How does this magic happen?
