Dear Swamiji,

 

I define it as commitment. Then we can bend according

as the situation warrants but will not break.

 

Yours thoughts anyone ?

 

Love

Latha

I believe the most important attribute of a spiritual seeker is

Faith. In Portuguese we have an expression for when things go not

as planned...."God writes straight through crooked lines." We may

not always understand, but we must always trust God and Guru.

 

Jai Maa,

Gauri

I feel the most important attribute of a spiritual seeker is

READINESS.

 

"He who hath ears, let him listen."

 

If one isn't ready to hear the next message, to take the next step,

one will not. If seeking is like climbing a mountain, one will not go

very far without having the proper climbing tools for overcoming

whatever obstacles will come on the climb. Faith is like one's safety

rope, love is like one's climbing skill. When one is ready, tools will

be picked up and learned as one climbs.

 

When one is ready, one makes the commitment to leave behind the

comforts and desires of civilization and enter into the wilderness of

climbing and seeking.

 

When one is ready, one is staring up at the very summit of realization

-- but can't get there because that heavy pack of tools, that bit of

clothing that is caught on a branch -- won't let one reach the summit.

And when one is ready, one removes all the burdens and coverings and

take the last steps, completely naked as a newborn baby...until

finally upon the summit, the cold winds, the snow and the expansive,

all-encompassing view from the top blow one off the mountain back to

peace. When one is ready...

>From basecamp,

 

I bow to all the mountain-climbers!

 

AUM

Hello Swamiji-

 

Sorry for the back up in discussion but I had to go back to the being

of this thread.

> What is the most important attribute of a spiritual seeker?

 

This was hard for me to decide because I came up with two: Reflection

(S/self examination) or Devotion.

 

If I had to choose one it would be Reflection because I beleive and

try to live by the old saying "a life lived unexamined is no life"

(sorry for the poor paraphrasing)

 

Jai Ma
