Spiritual Simplicity

Spiritual growth doesn't have to be hard. There is no need for pain, sacrifice, years of devotion, gurus, study. All you have to do is say, "Please let me see this through your eyes, Jesus," and really mean it with your whole heart. You can substitute the word "Jesus" with any word that represents highest consciousness to you.

The only difficulty is meaning it with your whole heart. Sometimes we need to fall hard before we really mean it. It's easy to mouth words. To mean them unconditionally, without any conditions, without any holding back, is rare in life. But once you feel the surge of it, and you glimpse the joy in it, you finally feel authentic.

In this light you can see that there was never anything to sacrifice.
