Living a Spiritual Life in a Modern World

Spiritual growth is not achieved by simply giving 30 minutes a day to meditation. It involves an hour-by-hour attempt, all day long and every day, to keep the consciousness at as high a level as possible. It presumes a determination to consider oneself at all times as the soul, and increasingly, as part of a group, with no interests or desires, aims or wishes apart from the good of that group. It necessitates a constant watchfulness every hour of the day to prevent falling back into the lower vibration.
