What is the subtle trait that we must identify and uproot to progress on the spiritual path? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
With regard to anger, spiritual aspirants have to be vigilant even about the most minor matters that might provoke them, because if they are careless, they cannot progress in the least. Such people must cultivate a humble and loving spirit. Then the bad traits will disappear. Some aspirants become very angry when someone discovers and announces to them the bad traits they possess. This makes matters worse! Aspirants must always have the inward look; if they allow the mind to wander outward, they cannot identify their own faults. Pride prevents the inward look and confuses the examination of the mind. When aspirants want to achieve success, they must bow down to those who point out their faults. That is the way to progress quickly in the path of meditation. And they must endeavour not to entertain their faults any longer.
– Dhyana Vahini, Ch 14.
