The Teachings of Kirpal Singh - Self-Introspection & Meditation
THERE ARE basically two stages to be gone through before the struggling disciple rises above body consciousness and begins to enjoy the spiritual disciplines and to firmly tread the Path of Spirituality.
The first stage is where the disciple has little or no knowledge of self-introspection and is in a state of abysmal ignorance. The second stage is when the disciple begins to realize that he has innumerable faults and failings which must be corrected before he can hope to rise above body consciousness, at which state this Path really begins. This second stage, which is for most a long drawn-out struggle with lower tendencies of the mind,
is known as "man making." Spirituality, or rising from the lower realms of existence to higher realms of untold bliss and harmony, is not difficult. It is the "man making" which is difficult. There is no specific time limit for this second stage. It all depends upon the disciple's aptitude for self-discipline, obedience to the commandments of the Master, and developing a love for Him. It is the self-assertive ego which is the last obstacle to be conquered, and this cannot be done until the soul begins to come into its own, has some glimmerings of its true nature, which has the result of developing in the disciple a natural humility. This is not to be confused with an attitude of servility, mind you. True humility has strength but is nevertheless not self-assertive. This volume contains 44 talks by Kirpal Singh discussing Self-Introspection: Self-Control; Prayer and Effort; Truthfulness; Chastity; Love for All; Self-less Service; Spiritual Practices; Creating New Habits; Developing Patience and Perserverance; Meditation, Prayer, and much more on how to grow our humanity.
