Value of Values - Distinction between material and spiritual progress

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sri Shailendraji:

 

Your observation just indicates your spiritual progress where our

action becomes motionless! With spiritual progress, we learnt to

become the witness instead of feeling as the actor. Ideally, the

efforts that we exert should be directed with the attitude

of "Prasada buddhi" which requires devotion. The only way to quiet

our mind is to remove the agitation caused by expectations. ( I have

just posted another article on value of values that discusses these

aspects in greater details.)

 

Warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran
