Start Your Transformation
Spread yourself without hesitation and look at your pain and joy differently. Become lawless like raindrops and indifferent to your opinions
Where do we begin?
You are excited about the decision to transform your life and become a spiritual being. You have started reading transformative books, meditating in the morning, eating healthier to nourish your body, and trying to banish forms of negativity and judgment from your life.
I congratulate you on these first steps, but the part of you that initiated all these little efforts is the old self you must leave behind in the end. Your thoughts and feelings about doing something right and embarking on your journey of awakening are influenced by your earthly vessel, which views these achievements from a selfish perspective.
Do you want people to see you in a different light? Do you enjoy showcasing the knowledge and skills you have acquired? The first important rule for any inner transformation is to cultivate invisibility and humility and letting imaginary ideas slowly fall apart.
What does Spiritual Transformation mean?
Spiritual transformation typically involves attaining higher states of consciousness and cultivating a deeper understanding of oneself. One's perception of reality shifts from a limited, ego-centered focus toward a broader understanding of a deep connection with this universe.
A journey of self-discovery has started within you. You question old beliefs and identifications and try to replace those with new emotions of compassion, gratitude, and kindness.
Although you are breaking free from some egoistic limitations, you are still wandering blindly within the prison of your lifelong acquired habits and misunderstandings.
At this point in your evolution, you must refrain from judging yourself and observe your vessel as an intriguing stranger who has begun to understand certain things but lacks the strength and will to implement those realizations into your life.
Conscious Beings Showing the Way
Regardless of the system of transformation you study, the central point is liberating oneself from bodily attachments and dissolving the ego by connecting with the divine. But how can you shift toward living a life of love and service when you get irritated by minor disturbances and difficulties?
At this point, you need some help and divine grace from above. You need to find a teacher who has transcended herself and has become conscious to guide you toward your liberation.
Without this support, your efforts may plateau, and the demands of life could overshadow your inner practice. Even if you start your quest for inner transformation with determination, you may find yourself doubting your efforts and wavering in your convictions and daily practices. This phase requires guidance from a teacher and the support of fellow students, who can identify our weaknesses and offer assistance, becoming invaluable.
Only Teachers, like Buddha, Jesus, and Meher Baba, who are considered Gods and became men to guide humanity and bring hope, did not need anyone to reveal themselves. We humans, though, cannot escape this prison without the help of those who have escaped, and we need to be lucky in finding the teacher who helps us evolve.
We are all Beginners
On the path to spiritual transformation, it is vital to have unwavering faith in your ability to achieve this goal. Any doubt about fulfilling this aim will hinder your progress. You must adopt the mindset of ‘‘Hans im Glück’’ in Brother Grimm's fairy tale, who sees all hindrances and obstacles as blessings and luck on his journey. There is no room for self-pity. Every human you encounter and every interaction you face is there to teach you and bring you further along in your quest for spiritual transformation. Believing in this concept is not enough; you must be fully immersed in this certainty. Only then will you truly understand the meaning of your life. Walking this path is not easy, but if you know that you have no other choice and must go this way, no matter where or how, then miracles will follow miracles and wonders will never cease. It is your quest, and no one knows your specific trials, but in the end, it all comes down to one ultimate decision:
'‘To be or not to be present.’’ Good luck on your journey.
