Support Is Needed For Spiritual Progress

SUPPORT IS NEEDED FOR SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

Desire to evolve further and make progress is deeply ingrained in
human psyche. For a human being, spiritual progress is not less
important than that of the materialistic fronts of life. This Self-
evolution leads to an extraordinary rise in human dignity and esteem.
A balanced progress in both spiritual and worldly domains must
presently be regarded as the best approach to life. This is not easy
because everyone around does not seem to bother about human
ideals and the path seems hard, deserted and lonely. To undertake
any important activity it is necessary to make proper preparations and
seek guidance from those who have undertaken such an activity
earlier. The same principle applies in spirituality as well. So, stepping
and then continuing on the path of self-evolution is impossible
without the grace, love and guidance of an adept master or a Guru.

The concept of Guru is a cornerstone in spirituality the science of
holistic evolution of consciousness. In this book, the concept of
Guru has been explained in detail. The responsibility of a Guru and
the duties of a disciple are highlighted. Questions on having multiple
Gurus are answered. The book discusses the essential qualities of an
ideal Guru, importance of faith in the spiritual domain, and highlights
how the support of a noble Guru to a worthy disciple leads to quick
progress on the path of self-evolution. The book also describes two
important concepts in the spiritual domain - the process of initiation on
the path of spiritual evolution through a Guru Deeksha and the
choice of Ishta or focus of devotion.
