A True Spiritual Path

Byongtim

A true spiritual path is one that takes us from this point of separation and incompleteness to oneness again with the universal mind or God, and in the journey or process, we go beyond the fear and the self with total awareness and acceptance.

Thus, the characteristics of a true spiritual path are:

  1. LOVE – A reduction of fear and an increase of unconditional love
  2. INCLUSIVENESS – A reduction of exclusiveness and an increase of inclusiveness
  3. SELFLESSNESS – A reduction of selfishness and an increase of selflessness
  4. PEACE – A reduction of negative emotions and an increase of positive emotions, joy and peace in the heart

Using these criteria, we can know whether anyone who professes to be religious is truly practicing a true spiritual path or not. If he or she thinks, speaks and acts in such a way as to promote all of the above, he or she can be said to be walking a true spiritual path, regardless of the religion he or she follows. In fact, even an atheist can be spiritual in this way. Not only that, even a corporation can be spiritual in this sense.
