🌻 Developing Fiery Aspiration - 2 🌻
A noble aspiration manifests into a practical service activity for the well-being of other people. Impractical ideas lead to a waste of time and energy.
When we want to walk the path, it has to be a firm decision to walk it up to the goal, until we have reached Yoga, that is union.
This is called “fiery aspiration” and in the eastern teachings “Tapas”, and this fire causes the inner transformation.
Without a firm decision we start our exercises with much enthusiasm. But already after a month or a year everything is forgotten.
Enthusiasm alone therefore is not enough to walk the inner path. When aspiration dies in favour of non-essential things, then the way gets closed for a while.
In all areas of life man only reaches certain heights if he develops fiery aspiration – be it in great inventions or in outstanding achievements in some areas of life.
When in spirituality we set ourselves high targets and work for them, the attention gets focused into one direction. Fiery aspiration is like concentrating a sun ray through a magnifying glass to obtain the full power of the light.
Through aspiration all energies are directed upward, and we have no more time for silly things. Here it is important not to suppress the lower thoughts, for suppression will produce diseases.
