The primary obstacles of our spiritual transformation
Procrastination,
boredom, laziness and unpleasantness to do the scheduled daily practice is one of
the biggest obstacles to our spiritual transformation.
Along
with these self-justification completes the recipe of
failure. The ego has infinite ways to justify itself.
The majority fail to awaken and finally realize fully the Self due to the above
tamasic expressions of ego.
However
the biggest obstacles of enlightenment are lust, pride and ambition along with
the fear that accompanies all other egoic tendencies. But we have first to
address and overcome the primary tamasic obstacles, because without a systematic,
organized daily practice we cannot work efficiently and eliminate all other egoic tendencies.
Without
a dedicated, sincere and regular practice, we cannot drink the water of
immortal life; we will remain romantic devotees of spirituality by reading
spiritual books, attending lectures or seminars, by browsing the Internet,
etc., until something to shake us and make us practice with determination and dedication.
