For rapid spiritual
progress, the seeker should undertake the spiritual practice of the next level
of spiritual maturity that follows the one he is at presently. This principle
is elaborated in the following table:
| Spiritual Level % |
Spiritual Practice |
| 20 |
Absent |
| 30 |
Physical Worship - such as Ritualistic
Worship (fasting, performing sacrificial fires, attending mass service in church,
offering namaz, etc.), visiting places of Worship, reading Holy Texts. |
| 40 |
Mental Worship - chanting* the Lord's Name |
| 50 |
Remaining in Satsang |
| 55 |
Service to the Absolute Truth (Satseva)
and being blessed by a Guru’s grace. |
| 60 |
Sacrifice of wealth (Tyag) |
| 70 |
Unconditional spiritual love (Priti) |
| 80 |
Stance of a spectator (Sakshibhav) |
| 90 |
Mission after Self-Realization |
Stance of an observer (sakshibhav)
After attaining a spiritual level of 80 %, one is able to observe everything,
including one’s spiritual progress, as occurring due to God’s wish.
Mission after attaining Self-Realization
After attaining a spiritual level of over 90 %, the disciple harbors the feeling, ‘Now
I live only to repay the favors done by others’. Thus, one spends their
life in doing what is necessary for society. With such spiritual practice, the
Guru’s grace is constantly showered upon the disciple and he progresses
towards Final Liberation (Moksha). |
