Dear Renuka,
You have a cliched view of maturity. Maturity happens when you have the right balance of holistic and logical thinking. That's also when one can be genuinely humorous in my view. So contrary to what you think being mature is real fun.
Dear Sravna,
I dont think maturity actually happens in the real sense.
What we see is only changes in the mind.
Ok take the Self for example..the Atma...it has never undergone change ever.
Its always Changeless. There is no such thing as a mature Atma or Immature Atma.
Mind on the other hand is conditioned by past experiences,knowledge,society and surroundings.
Mind has the ego as the substratum.
What we call mature is just experiences accumulated over time and with repeated exposure to the same situations which might appear in different forms we humans learn to have reactions for each situation encountered.
When one encounter is handle by a reaction which produces positive results the mind records it in its subconscious only to use it again when faced with a similar situation.
Repeated situations and repeated reactions from the human mind produces a data base of successful methodology and we call it maturity.
Whatever said and done as long as anything that is based in the mind..it is only transient.
