Is there a right spiritual path?

Question:

Many people claim to be in the right spiritual path. But how can you know what is the right one? Or even if there is one. Also, many people tell Rita that when they go to religious or spiritual meetings, people look at them like they still have a lot to learn. Like they are more “advanced” than them or “more in the path” than them. So, what is the meaning for all of it?

Rita:

Actually, it doesn’t matter what you choose to do to reach a more spiritual life, you just have to keep in mind what is the ultimate goal of spirituality, which is love and compassion.

You can spend years practicing yoga, waking up early to meditate, attending seminars or hanging crystals around your house. But, if one day life gives you the chance to give compassion and you don’t take it, all of your efforts went to waste.

All the instruments may help you to take your focus away from the material world for a while, but in essence, to be spiritual is to be connected with Universe’s energy of love. And if you start being aware, you will realize life gives you several chances to connect with it, day after day.

Everytime you choose acceptance over judgement, you are also in the path to spirituality. That is because for the energy of love, there is no right or wrong, and when you choose to just accept someone, you recognize that truth.

If you go deeper, you will realize that just dealing with real people is a spiritual path, because everyone can be like a master for you. People can make you look at yourself in ways you would never do, and that will break a lot of ego. And as the ego is no more than a wall between you and the energy of the Universe, breaking it makes you more connected to that energy.

And that is normal that people look at you weirdly when you are new to a religious group, as all of them think they have reached something and you haven’t yet. So, for them, if you want to reach something too you have to do what they did. And, as their looks tell, you have to be prepared because this is not going to be easy. But of course this is not true, because spirituality is something so internal, so particular that, in the end, only you can know what you need to reach this feeling of love and compassion.

Only you can know what makes your heart vibrate with joy. And everytime you do it, you will have left the mind. So you will know when you are in the path, when the energy of love is there but the mind is not. And everytime the mind comes back, you will step off of it. That’s why every minute in the path will be remembered like a dream, because the mind has never been there.
