Question: What advice would you give to someone just beginning on the spiritual path?

Answer: Being on the spiritual path means to become increasingly more truthful and honest with yourself. It is not a religious path, or a path of a particular spiritual discipline. It is a process in which you slowly let go of what is not real in your life and become more real, more responsible, and more socially just in what you do, feel, think, and speak. A true spiritual life is one of logic and critical thinking about every aspect of life from a multidimensional perspective. It is about making conscious choices. Your spiritual life evolves slowly and, as it evolves, your life expressions take on more complex layers of responsibility.
