As we grow in life, it is vital for us to reflect on the actions that we have performed and the outcome of these actions. If the action performed yields a positive result then we must realize that we can continue performing such actions. If the action performed, however, yields a negative result then we must realize that we should discontinue performing such actions. The process of realizing these results is considered the process of experience. Therefore, experience is the process by which a person is able to acknowledge and realize the outcome of actions after it is performed.

A true devotee of God will always try to realize the outcome of actions before it is performed. If the devotee foresees that the action will bring about distress and sorrow, then the devotee will not perform these actions. However, if the devotee foresees that the action will bring about happiness and bliss, then the devotee will perform these actions. This is called the process of maturity. We become mature individuals when we can realize the results of actions before they are performed and make a conscious effort to perform actions that will yield a positive result.
