Impediments of the Spiritual Path

Impediments of the Spiritual Path

Two things are detrimental on the spiritual path:

1. Culprit consciousness 
In the past, religion pushed you into feeling like a culprit. It made you think that you are a sinner, you must repent.

Unfortunately, many people lived their lives in guilt and died with this feeling. 

Jesus said, ‘I and my father are one’ (implying oneness with the Divine). He never said that you repent, you are a sinner. In fact, Jesus stood against it if someone said that anyone was a sinner.

2. Victim consciousness

‘Oh, I am victimized! I am right and you owe me an explanation. If nothing, at least an explanation!’ The mind rattles on being a victim.

Both, victim consciousness and guilt consciousness are detrimental on the spiritual path, they make you miserable.
