Discovering Indian Mystics put me on a fast track onto my spiritual journey.
I could feel it.
I could sense it.
My spirit team started telling me about it also.
One thing they told me was this,
We always held humility to be key in gauging one’s advancement on the spiritual path.
There is another landmark which is joy.
There is a reason why joy is the hallmark of saints and sages.
I would find myself held aloft on the magic carpet of joy.
In times of what would have been difficult times,
I found myself riding that magic carpet of joy.
Whereby even if I want to come down from it,
I was not able to come down from it.
I was simply held aloft by that feeling of joy.
I did find myself asking God.
What merit is there in suffering if I do not suffer.
Apparently, that was one suffering he did not need me to suffer.
Though it was a dark night of the soul.
The other one was when they showed me that,
A soul well on the spiritual path is incapable of experiencing anger, hate or malintent.
The latter is very striking.
I could in all honesty say I am incapable of feeling real anger, hate or malintent.
I might experience passing feelings of anger or hurt when triggered.
But my state of being is that of being incapable of holding anger or hate against anyone.
I understood what I wondered about years ago,
When I watched the buddhist monks,
and wondered how they could not feel hate for those who cause them so much suffering in their homeland.
I wondered about their peace, love and equanimity of spirit.
On this path, I finally understood it, experiencing it myself.
Does it mean I am holy?
By no means.
I am only very human.
That is why saints and sages are so humble.
They are aware of their human nature.
Do they worry about it?
No, that is part of their make up as spiritual persons of depth and deep integrity.
They know human nature and their own nature.
