What Is The Spiritual Life ?

[Soul Searching]

When we follow the spiritual life, we come to feel that a life of peace need not always remain a far cry. We come to feel that a life of love, the love that expands, need not always remain a far cry. Everything that fulfills us divinely and supremely, we can achieve and claim as our very own if we follow the spiritual life. Right now Peace, Light and Bliss in abundant measure we do not have at our disposal. But when we practice spirituality, when our inner cry, which we call aspiration, climbs up high, higher, highest, at that time Peace, Light and Bliss we get not only in abundant measure but in infinite measure. And we can achieve and treasure these divine qualities in the inmost recesses of our hearts. When we practice the spiritual life soulfully, devotedly and unconditionally, we try to bring to the fore the divinity that we all have. And this divinity is nothing short of our perfection.

"There are three stages in one's spiritual development," said the Master. "The carnal, the spiritual and the divine."

"What is the carnal stage?" asked the eager disciples.

"That's the stage when trees are seen as trees and mountains as mountains."

"And the spiritual?"

"That's when one looks more deeply into things -- then trees are no longer trees and mountains no longer mountains."

"And the divine?"

"Ah, that's Enlightenment," said the Master with a chuckle, "when trees become trees again and mountains, mountains."
