Lack of Spiritual Success & Its Causes #100
A common occurrence and complaint among aspiring sadhikas and practitioners, in every age, is the lack of any appreciable progress along the path, sometimes even in the face of an active and ongoing spiritual practice. In the Vivekachudamani, Shankara takes this problem to task for the benefit of sincere seekers after Enlightenment. Most often it is an unclear or distorted perspective that hampers advancement, so the seeker, obtaining right guidance from the preceptor, must look both backwards and inwards to effect a solution. Then, and as long as the courage of one’s convictions remains steady and long-lived, certain signs appear that allow the practitioner to move forward with all assurance. All of this, and more is outlined in Shankara’s indepth scrutiny of all aspects surrounding this problem.
Signs of Battle — Maintaining Spiritual Life in the World #111
The day of spiritual awakening is dawning. The soul is remembering its true nature and source of origin. The primordial Divine Energy has also been stripped of its hiding place in human consciousness. Importantly, Maya has been uncovered, its negative influences caught and held in abeyance for the time being. The world presses in, trying to cover the brilliance of the revelation of the Atman and Its Purveyor, The Divine Mother Shakti. She beckons the soul out of its complacency and encourages in to enter the fray. Signs of battle are all around — in the world, at the work place, in relationships, even at home. The soul must now be on vigil in order to protect the spiritual vision that has awakened it from lifetimes of slumber.
The Corrosion of Consciousness #126
An “old bucket of rusty nails” is a good symbolic definition for all the unresolved karmas, past and present, that both harm and influence human mind and thought today. If the human mind were posed as the bucket, and all its thoughts were the nails inside, the obvious negativity present there would be the acidic corrosion going on. In this ingenious wisdom chart, the call to wakeup to the dangerous presence of gradually fructifying karmas, and the order of ones own will to do something about them, gets proposed. It is spiritual practice, always ongoing, and under the supervision of the spiritual preceptor, that provides the solution. Otherwise, the household today, and even the monastery — as Lord Buddha indicates here — are at dire risk.
The Four Noble Truths & the Eightfold Path #118
With such a deep, powerful, and timeless teaching as this, emanating from one of the world’s most illumined of souls, there is really no need for ignorance and suffering to persist anymore amidst seeking and striving humanity. To have it available as a four-color presentation on a 24 x 36 teaching chart would cause all sincere seekers of truth to want it placed on every wall of every monastery, ashram, spiritual center, meeting hall, and household in the world — across the three worlds, if possible. This teaching of the Indian dharma is a free soul’s reckoning and rendering of the perennial path and its obstacles after having had the consummate Vision of the Absolute, Nirvana. It is well-suited to assist the practitioner in freeing the self from unnecessary suffering, placing ones feet on the road to Divine Reality, and realizing, forever, the diamond nature of ones own intrinsic Awareness.
