*Friday Spiritual Message No: 20*
*Spiritual Progress and the Nature of the Mind*
In spirituality, one has to become gradually positive. The negative mind within us never cooperates in this process, for it does not want to give up its attachment to the materialistic world. True spiritual progress begins when a person starts developing disinterest in materialistic life.
Since this negative mind has been with us for many births, it cannot be expected to withdraw from worldly attractions all at once. The purpose of spiritual practice is to cultivate positivity and purity gradually. As the mind becomes purer, detachment from materialistic life naturally follows.
Therefore, practicing spirituality is often very difficult for one who is deeply materialistic. It requires patience, perseverance, and sincere effort to transform the long-conditioned negative mind into a pure and positive one.
