The turning point in man�s spiritual evolution is the experience of God. After gaining his vision the candidate yearning for God becomes intense and the worldly charms become unattractive to him. The more he draws nearer God the more he withdraws from the world. Infact, the devotee need not make an effort to do it. It is enough if he remains loyal in devotion to God. Due to ignorance man thinks that the worldly attractions are the ultimate and seeks happiness from them. His sorrows and frustrations are due to his inability to see the brief nature of all worldly relationships and joys. It is this search for eternal bliss that urges man onto the spiritual path and once his devotion becomes steady, the mind gets weaned from worldly attractions on its own accord. The mind has the characteristics of acquiring the qualities of the object of its own preoccupation. So when the mind dwells on god it acquires divine-like qualities. When a person develops a taste for spiritual life he is drawn to the divine name, as it is the concrete form of God. The association between the name and form is apparent even in all worldly experiences. Though God�s vision is possible only when the devotee�s mind becomes pure, the very nature of the Divine name is such that it creates a longing for his vision. This is the effect of chanting God�s name through japa or hymns or pure thinkings. The divine name is capable of neutralising all the sins of man and the hidden tendencies, which prompt his mind to run after sensory pleasures, are also rooted out. The Divine name is like fire that can consume any kind of fuel and reduce it to ashes. What is essential were faith in God and regular prayer.
The non-spiritual being lives exclusively within the five senses, believing that if you cannot see, touch, smell, hear, or taste something, then that something simply doesn't exist. The spiritual being knows that beyond the five physical senses, there are other senses we use to experience the world of form. The non-spiritual being believes we are alone in the universe. The spiritual being knows he or she is never alone. The spiritual being knows that he is connected to all others and lives his life as if each person he meets shares being human with him. The measure of a life is not in what is accumulated, but rather in what is given to others. magic cannot be experienced when your focus is on getting more for yourself, particularly if it is at the expense of others. That one can get divine guidance by becoming peaceful and quiet, and asking for answers. They know they are multidimensional and that the invisible mind can be tapped at higher and higher levels through meditation, or whatever you want to call the practice of being alone and emptying your mind. He pays attention to invisible messages and knows deep within that there is something working that is much more than a coincidence. For the spiritual person, these inner intuitive expressions are almost like having a dialogue with God. Spiritual they are for feeding people and seeing that everyone in the world is nutritionally satisfied. The man has a mind with which to process the physical universe. The invisible intelligence that suffuses all form is a part of ourselves, thus a reverence for all life is knowing that there is a soul in everything. That soul is worthy of being honored. forgiveness is the most important of all things.
