"The Day is To Be Experienced, Not Understood"

I love this:

‎One day in the middle of their morning prayers, the (Hindu) sage suddenly rose and ushered his students away from the monastery. He rushed about them and shooed them back into life like little ducks, proclaiming, 'The day is to be experienced, not understood!' 

- Mark Nepo

It's the anti-navel gazing mantra.  An important counterpoint.
