Spiritual Childhood
I believe that if you make an effort, and you want to save money or become someone, then you are the one doing the work. But if you let the heart act, let it grow you and evolve you, then you make no effort, because the Spirit is acting.
Only if you want to grow rationally do you have to make an effort. If you want to evolve, then you do not have to make even the slightest effort, because the Spirit grows you.
The Spirit evolves you, guides you, shows you what you have to do and where you have to go.
When you become stubborn and try to be great, to be evolved, to reach a higher level, without growing gradually — from small to great — guided by the Spirit, then you become frustrated.
I believe that evolution happens from small to great. And if you have become Spirit at the age of twenty or thirty, then you become impatient, because you still have to behave like a small child until you reach a more advanced age.
Only after you reach a greater age — in the Spirit — can you say that you feel satisfied, because by then all your desires have been fulfilled.
Before you mature, you have to go through a period of spiritual childhood and through all kinds of things that you may not like.
Simply put, if a person becomes enlightened around the age of thirty, they do not have the patience to go through their entire spiritual childhood and to do all the spiritual things that a little angel-child does.
You simply have to surrender, even when you do not like it, because in the end, you become exactly what you want to become.
