Virtuous Living and Spiritual Growth

We talked about in terms of spiritual attainment what are some of the things that one ought to have or one must do in order to progress on the path. Because, you cannot break free of your innate tendencies with ordinary or limited efforts. It requires an intense effort. But by effort, I am not suggesting that it is about meditating for ten or fifteen thousand hours. That is definitely going to help you but that is simply training the mind to build your mindfulness to bring it to such a level that you are all the time aware of your thoughts, feelings, actions and words. When I talk about intense efforts, I am talking about something in addition to meditation and chanting and so on.

Meditation is something you do to train and tame your mind; chanting is what you do to align your energies with this cosmic play of energy whether we see it as sacred or simply a play. But, beyond that a certain righteousness, leading a virtuous life is non-negotiable. If you are really interested in progressing on the path, there is no substitute for noble conduct.

Listen to this discourse full of wisdom by Om Swami on how leading a virtuous life is a must for spiritual attainment.
