A pearl & spirituality

We have heard that a natural pearl forms when a drop of rain falls into the open mouth of an oyster when its out to breathe. Over a period of time this drop of water becomes a pearl.

When a child learns something valuable through a personal experience he/she treasures it. Over a period of time shares it with others and passes them to his/her children as pearls of wisdom.

When a seeker is out there to seek he sometimes receives a rare bit of knowledge or has a life changing experience, which over a period of time he passes to others , as a nugget of knowledge - just like a pearl!
