Do you feel stuck in your spiritual development?
People on the spiritual journey often struggle with receiving the full benefits of a chosen path: some get caught up with dabbling in multiple paths at once, others with over-intellectualizing the teachings, and yet others become attached to an outcome which thwarts real learning. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to follow a spiritual path—not just collecting teachings, but embodying them. In the second half of this episode, we explore Mitra’s profound personal experience on the path of Rumi’s poetry.
What You’ll Learn:
- What true learning is on the spiritual path and how to achieve it
- The significance of committing fully to a spiritual path
- How Rumi’s poetry can be approached as a spiritual path in it of itself
If you’re someone who ….
- Is ready to up level your commitment to a spiritual path; or
- Is curious about the path of Rumi’s poetry; or
- Feels stuck in your spiritual progress
…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
