Spiritual growth: a comment

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sri Min:

 

Welcome to the list and we look forward to your active participation

in the list discussions. Here are my thoughts on your comments. I

agree that certain degree of spiritual maturity is achievable as we

grow. But there is no guarantee that age alone without efforts can

provide the answers that we are looking for. The question, "Am I

spiritually growing" should be a question useful for contemplation

and should not be used as a means to judge others.

 

The answer to the question, "Am I spiritually growing?" requires

contemplating on a series of other related questions stated below:

Who am I?

What is my role and obligation?

Am I spiritually maturing?

What are the indicators of spiritual maturity?

Does age a factor in measuring spiritual maturity?

What are my obligations for spiritual maturity?

Is spiritual maturity necessary for human liberation?

How can I help others to grow spiritually?

How should we use this list help the members towards their spiritual

maturity?

What is the role of intellectual discussions towards spiritual

maturity?

Why should I believe in God? Does it really matter whether I believe

in God or not?

What should be the focus of this list during the rest of this year?

 

We should earnestly contemplate on the above questions and share our

insights by exploring the answers to such questions. Our membership

consist of more than 650 members coming from different parts of this

universe and they come from varied ethnic, cultural and language

background. This forum is a great opportunity for all of us to find

the unity within our diversity by focusing our discussions to a

strive become more spiritual!

 

Warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran
