Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Chapter 3 SPIRITUAL LIFE (i) The Seeker's Path (ii) Discrimination Is Most Important (iii) Cultivate Dispassion (iv) Beware of Attachment (v) Slay Desires (vi) Cultivate Virtues (vii) Sadhana Is Indispensable (viii) Follow the Master (ix) Words of Light. (i) The Seeker's Path 1. An aspirant should possess courage, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, cosmic love and humility. 2. Follow the guidance of the inner light. Follow the prompting of the inner voice. 3. The spiritual path is not a rosy path. It is strewn with problems, tests and trials. 4. The earnest aspirant receives guidance and help in the path from an unseen guide and teacher. 5. O aspirant! Be steadfast on the way. Be courageous. Be faithful. March direct to the goal. 6. As the birds fly in the air, as the fish swim in the water, leaving no traces behind, even so is the pathway to God traversed by the seeker. 7. The spiritual path is beset with trials. The aspirant must possess patience, zeal, courage, strong will and perservance. 8. A beginner in the spiritual path should spend quarter of his time to the study of religious books, one quarter to the sorship and service of his Guru, one quarter to meditation, and the remaining quarter to selfless service. 9. Spiritual Sadhana is the technique of extending one's life beyond the narrow limits of one's egoistic feeling and personal vanity, a process of growing into higher and loftier states of existence. 10. Do Japa. Keep yourself engaged in the remembrance of the Lord. Merge yourself completely in God. This alone is the process, this alone is the path to the Eternal Bliss.
