🌻 Developing Fiery Aspiration - 1 🌻

Part of this fiery will exists in us in the mind, in the third chamber or plane. When the individual will is connected with the cosmic will, it lifts up the personality to a higher vibration, and thus the soul can express through it. 

However, when the will of the personality prevails, the soul withdraws and waits in a sleep-like state. 

For transforming the personality we have to ignite the higher will in us. This is done through continuous fiery aspiration, and intense spiritual search.

Many people are dreamy and only half-hearted in their search. For them spirituality is only one of the many things they are busy with. 

They lack a deeper commitment. With their wavering attitude they confuse themselves and others. Half-heartedness doesn’t give any progress; it is like only half-cooked food. 

Therefore it is said in the scriptures that the Path of Light is not suited for indecisive, impractical aspirants. When we really want to develop spiritual aspiration, it must spread into every activity of ours. 

It cannot be a part-time job. Whatever we do, wherever we become involved, we can carry it out with a spiritual understanding. Then we have spread spirituality into every part of our life.

Being interested in spiritual knowledge alone is not enough. It is no spiritual aspiration. He who only is interested in knowledge for the sake of knowledge remains a mental activity, the precipitate of aspiration. 

This way he cannot become an aspirant and doesn’t find access to the subtle worlds. Even an intense urge for knowledge is not aspiration, in fact it can be a hindrance. 

Many aren’t aware of this. They want to know, but for which purpose? To feel special or to use the knowledge for personal benefit? It is important that we question our motives.
