[www.eZon.in] living a spiritual life

Swami Ashokananda was a disciple of Sri Ramkrishna Paramhansa. In todays world everyone is taking of spirituality. Either they think it is some kind of fashion or just to impress people and when you try to indulge in a discussion/explanaiton they get irritated and get pissed off and carry the irritaiton in their heart for many days. Obviously they also get rude with you. The difference is there would be no irritaiton in the heart of a person living a spiritual life, either if he is explained to somehting or he/she is being rude to. He would still be caring and would like to ignite the tiny spark into a glorious flame.

 

Sorry I just wanted to benefit you in some way, I am a very ordinary mortal but you cant find fault with Thakur. Thakur has singled you out, you speak to him dont fight with me ha ha ha ha.

 

here are some excerpts form Swami Ashokananda's book Shafts of Light

 

*Chapter 8. THE SECRETS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH*
*
*
Life is short, but the art of spiritual unfoldment is long and very
difficult to practice. What of it? Do you realize what you are undertaking?
The finite is going to the Infinite. What more do you want?

*Chapter 8. THE SECRETS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH*

*
Spiritual growth is very, very slow. What is needed is continuity of effort.

The important thing is: how much less you think of the body, of yourself as
matter--as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of
yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself
as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free
of matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.

Swami Vivekananda

Spiritual growth is infinitely slow, even when an aspirant struggles
sincerely. Great patience is necessary. As you meditate, live the life.
