Today, someone called regarding the chakra workshops. I could hear in their voice they were curious about the spiritual path, but I could feel instantly that the person was in the "get enlightenment quick" idea. I answered their initial questions about the chakras, vedas, and 2012, and Acharya Shree's thoughts on them. Suddenly, out of the blue, the person asked, "Are you enlightened?" I humbly said "no" because I am not.
Eagerness for Enlightenment was on this person's mind, but I reminded them that the spiritual path is a gradual process. By reading or learning too many things all at once can make a person allergic to the spiritual path. I shared with this person what Acharya Shree told me on the very first day I met him, "I know your goals for enlightenment, but one step at a time and you will achieve it. Slow and steady wins the race." This blog is about being less extreme and more patient on the path towards enlightenment.
