INSPIRATION

To compare your own spiritual development and achievements to those of others is not only futile but actually shows that you are still very much living in a reality dominated by the Ego. In doing so, inevitably you will find it either lacking or superior to the other's and both conclusions are equally misleading. For the Heart knows no comparisons. It recognizes the equality and simultaneous uniqueness of each human being. The Ego-Mind alone needs to compare it-self, because this secures its existance and validity. However there is a second kind of comparison which, working on the presumption of everyone's worthy uniqueness, respects the differences in everyone and actually draws inspiration for further personal growth from them.
The same open-hearted approach should be taken upon listening to teachers talking or of reading religious doctrines and spiritual theories. This secures that you are neither developing a spiritual inferiority/superiority comlex, nor getting caught in rigid belief-systems.

To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...
