Many spiritual aspirants
gain the pride of their knowledge,
and in this ignorance, they feel themselves
to be better than those that struggle to know the ways of God.
Little do they realize,
that one must be very cautious,
as one climbs the ladder of spirituality,
for the one that is higher
has the bigger chances of the fatal fall!
Spiritual knowledge
must not be treated
as an accomplishment -
its words of wisdom must become
the experience - the practice.
If one only parrots
the words and makes no use
of its sweetness, then these
same words of love will become
the weapon of the biggest form of ignorance!
Hence, be alert
that you are never aware
of your own spiritual progress.
Never look at what
you have become from what you were -
look at what you must be.
Remember, there is
always more work ahead -
do not stop to appreciate
what you have done,
for you may begin to relax
and the journey of change
may stop at the mid-point.
