The beginning of spiritual advancement is conditioned by the quest for that goal for which seeker strives for. It may take a long time before he arrives at the mountain top of truth-realization; and the path is beset by pitfalls and precipices. Those who attempt to reach this mountain top have to climb, and even one who has succeeded in scaling great heights may by a slight mistake fall from them. Therefore, the seeker is never safe unless he has the help and guidance to overcome all the obstacles. Seeker has to safeguards himself from a possible fall, and lead himself to the goal.
The seeker carries with him the conditioning, which he has inherited and accumulated in the past, and in the intensity of his spiritual longing he remains ineffective for the time being. But when there is a slackening of spiritual effort, the conditioning gather fresh strength, and arraying themselves in a new formation constitutes formidable obstacles to spiritual advancement.
When the seeker is receptive then the F.P guidance is most effective when seeker is able to rectify his reasoning base from form to formless. the essential condition of spiritual advancement is the reasoning based on the soul as self.
In pursuit of truth discussion of
unimportant subject matter is a great hindrance. Personal attacks have to be
avoided to maintain sanctity .
The path of truth is path of
verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Agreeing
to disagree causes unnecessary friction, everyone has a point of view and
everyone must respect others views wisdom just to maintain harmony irregardless of
whether the point made was acceptable or not.
There are millions in search of truth but one in million will be able
to grasp it. I am just posting what
revels from the inner core. I just share with like-minded fellow seekers. I am just highlighting the obstacle in the
pursuit of truth. Self-Knowledge or
Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not based on any teaching or teacher. Pursuit of
truth is pursuit of verification not pursuit of argument. Intellectual discussion is great hindrance
in pursuit of truth.
Sharing is giving info for the
sake of goodness. As with all things, achieving a balance of peaceful
communications is established with respect, humility, understanding and patience.
Balancing an achievement is harder.
