The Four Chapters Of A Spiritual Journey

The journey of a seeker can be divided into four major chapters- The withdrawal, the tunnel, the path and the surrender. The seeker first of all declares to himself that the way people are living is meaningless and withdraws from the society, then moves into a tunnel to escape from the chaos he is surrounded by, then chooses a path that provides his life with a meaning, a purpose and finally enters the dimension of Tao by surrendering to the divine will. There are thousands of ways of withdrawing, thousands of ways of escaping, thousands of paths to choose from – It all depends upon the soul's individuality and karma. But the basic pattern remains the same. God's compassion sets us up and makes no changes in the syllabus designed to set us free. With the least amount of pain and maximum learning, we are constantly moved to higher status of consciousness. The divine laws make sure we do not get stuck up anywhere. The flow of evolution is maintained and the journey romanticized with unpredicted twists and turns. So trust God, trust your intuition and just keep going.
