"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"

 "One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself" 

I Believe this means that one has to physically, mentally, and spiritually experienced something before they can tell others to do it.  If you have not truly experiences what you are telling someone to do you don't know how it will change that person's life. All aspects of their life. Also the experience one gets from something is different from the experience another person may get. This happens all the time in everyday life. Your parents will tell you to better in math class even though the math that they experience in their school years was very different and much easier, How does that parent not know that the grade that their child got was their best. Doctors will ask a patient that is depressed how they feel and come up with a treatment based on the information that the patient has told them. Has that doctor ever been depressed in their personal life? Does the doctor know how a depressed person feels? Is it painful? Is it sad? When I am at work a patient will say they are in pain and then the doctor and the nurse will say they can't be in pain? How can they say that? Many things in medicine are subjective. Subjective- Based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes,or opinions. 

I don't feel that we have an obligation to develop our health psychologically, physically, and spiritually. But it would give the medical professional a great advantage to broaden their mind,body, and sole. I think that this would give them more insight into others and be able to treat the patients maybe in different ways that will be beneficial to the patient doctor relationship.

We can implement this practice in our personal life by how they say," practice what you preach".  Easier said than done but one may stop to think about their actions before the tell someone to do something or judge another person.
