Can we become more spiritual?

 Devotee:  How can one quicken this coming of realization?

Ramana Maharshi:  As one strives to know the true ‘I’ the attachment to objects, the bad and degrading thoughts gradually drop off. The more one does not forget the Self, the more do elevating qualities become ours. Realisation will come eventually.

We hear that often from spiritual teachers, follow this practice and you are connected to the workings of the Way “more and more.” Life is non-linear for a good reason, to confront us with the self-imposed interferences that keep us from enjoying the harmony of the Way. 

A spiritual quest is like spring-cleaning. We address what we perceive to be the self-imposed obstacles and God cleans out the subconscious for us. We always travel the Way, it just takes us a little time to consciously get our arms around that fact. Keep cleaning!
