Answer to the last week's experiment (Issue 207):
Figure A had a seeker doing spiritual
practice when
his personality defects were still there in him. Figure B had a seeker who was
doing spiritual practice after removing his personality defects. One feels pleasant
looking at figure B because the personality defects amount to 70% obstacles in
one’s spiritual practice. Consciously removing them furthers one’s
spiritual practice and helps one make rapid spiritual
progress. Due to the removal
of one’s personality defects, one is able to gain more divine consciousness
(chaitanya) from God, and the surroundings, too, become more sattvik. Hence,
a seeker should make efforts to remove personality defects. |
