Work, spiritual
Keep it secret
October 23rd 2012
Spiritual work is unlike any other work; it is something that reaches the deepest, most intimate part in each person. We should do it without saying what we are doing. All those who start telling others how they do their practices, how they meditate, etc, and what results they achieve are lacking in awareness and do not know what they stand to lose. Talking about your spiritual work shows you have understood neither the nature of the work nor what it requires.
So I advise you to keep secret everything you do to draw closer to the ideal of light and beauty you aspire to. By keeping this work secret, you also maintain the impetus, ardour and enthusiasm you need in order to make progress. And if you persevere, if your efforts are really sincere, know that some day it will become apparent: everyone will feel the life of the spirit expressing itself through you.
