Spirituality as a Full-Time Commitment

We explore how spiritual practice should be viewed as a full-time commitment rather than a part-time effort if we truly seek liberation, comparing spiritual development to working a job where you only receive benefits proportional to your dedication.

• Treating spirituality like a full-time job means maintaining awareness of the formless Brahman throughout daily activities
• True meditation extends beyond sitting practice to constant contemplation of the highest reality
• Karma yoga involves performing actions without seeking rewards, acting as an observer rather than a doer
• Surface-level spirituality and ritualistic practice without presence yield minimal transformation
• The ability to witness thoughts arising from deep sleep indicates deepening spiritual awareness
• Anger stems from unfulfilled desires, showing where attachment still exists
• Detachment paradoxically allows for purer love by removing control and expectation
• Building spiritual "muscles" requires consistent practice regardless of past karma
• Liberation (Jivan Mukti) requires dedication but is achievable in this lifetime with proper foundation

Keep working consistently on your spiritual practice, and regardless of how many lifetimes it may take, you will eventually achieve liberation.
