Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 SPRITUAL AWAKENING: The Gita describes the spiritual path as a battle between the forces of light and darkness in our consciousness. The battlefield is, in fact, the field of man's inner consciousness. True spiritual peace is not passive; rather, it is a state of victory of a fight well fought. It is not a wall placed protectively around one to shut out the horrors of life; it is a blinding light, banishing those horrors into non-existence. The path of progress must be seen as an overcoming. No man ever slid downhill into heaven. The path has been described as an ascent up a mountain, to be achieved only after hardship. The image of mount Meru is descriptive of the actual ascent of consciousness that takes place in the inner realm. Spiritual awakening can also be accompanied by a rising energy and consciousness in the spine. In this spiritual state, one may indeed dance, laugh, and sing with unending gladness, enveloped in inner joy. – Swami Kriyananda prof laxmi narain (prof_narain) Source and courtesy: Sri Ramana Kendram, Hyderabad This article was published in Sri Ramana Jyothi, monthly magazine of the Kendram.
