The necessity of practice

'Without committed practice, even real experiences of awakening cannot bring us to a stable place within the inner realm.  Only by seeing this clearly does our attitude towards practice become more humble and open.'

'Practice manifests out of a deep command within the soul to use all means available to accelerate our spiritual enlightenment - it is an expression of our innermost collaboration with the divine will.  If we fail to actively participate in our own evolution, how can we expect the divine to assist us?  Waiting indolently for grace to do the inner work for us is an arrogant approach.  It is no different than expecting water to spring form the ground without first digging a well.  One needs to be ready to receive grace, and through conscious cooperation with one's evolution, to increasingly mature into that readiness."
