soul’s Divine Journey

in this sense, true spirituality has been hijacked, for
the mind now worships Brahm as the ultimate lord, and
similarly, it views the universal mind power as the true
spirit. the mind can become so overly enamored with the
worship of Brahm that it completely forgets about the quest
for the self, the soul, and the true spiritual consciousness.
consequently, all character development is stymied and
only lateral growth is possible, for the mind assumes it has

for the higher truth. all of this is to the glory of the mind

uncover its own divinity. all truth seekers must eventually

outside temple.

truth seeker, you are not looking for another’s spirituality,
but only your own. thus, there is a little story of old i would
like to share in the hopes that it will more clearly convey

where people go to pray. God is in the church.” “Well, i
