Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path, is full of different kinds of experience’s , He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process. This quote is said by the great Sai Baba. I believe that this quote sums up the poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner perfectly. Baba emphasizes on the meaning of learning form experiences on a spiritual level. In this life, we will be face to face with problems we cannot solve, issues we despise but all of this is mandatory for us to become better people. Our failure takes us a step closer to cleaning ourselves from this hectic world to finding inner peace with ourselves. Romantic poets stress on the topic of learning form experiences and going through a transformation.
Each and every single one of us is a nourished creation born onto this Earth. We roam through the unknown lands with the help of God the Almighty. As the sun rises, the flowers bloom as they awaken, the birds chirp with cheer and the humans advance towards the light of goodwill. Humans are one of the many creations favored upon by the All- Knowing. This praise serves justice to us because we are recognized to inhabit the traits of intelligent able speech and the ability to generate tools. With the help of Him, we become people we dream of being and in return, we must treat Him and His creations with love as well as respect. Sometimes, we forget the mercy witnessed around us and fall into a state of ungratefulness. When this happens, the Powerful one knows how to get us back on track. Great works of literature done by the Romantics portray many of these characteristics. Numerous poems written by Romantic authors share the same message of gaining experience, repentance and love for nature. One of these poems is called the Rime of the Ancient
