This paradigm - the Middle Path - is so helpful. I was taught that “lean not to your own understanding” meant “don’t trust your instincts” and I’ve been on the path to unlearn this (and many other harmful teachings) for a long time. This is a good word. Thank you!
Totally understand! I think what that verse refers to is not to rely SOLELY on our own understanding, but certainly to pay attention to and integrate it with other sources of knowledge.
