Lord Buddha spoke of the middle path. He talked about moderation and balancing your life. One of the stories associated with his enlightenment process tells of a moment when he was meditating on the bank of a river, when a band of musicians passed by. The teacher among them, while instructing his students on the correct way to tune the veena, said: “if you pull the strings too hard they will break and if you leave them too loose the instrument will never be able to sing.” At this statement, the meditating Buddha realized / intuited the meaning and importance of the middle path and based his teachings on it.

A simple understanding of the middle path is that the spiritual disciple must balance his physical/material life and his spiritual growth. Don’t sacrifice one at the expense of the other. Borrowing from the teachings of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, “Spirituality and materiality are like the two wings of a bird. You need both to fly.”

If he aratic preparation The class is the first important step that one takes towards their spiritual development, it can be compared to the musical instrument (the soul) that is strung and tightened probably for the first time, to create the correct musical note (spiritual attunement). The instrument must be strung correctly, not too loose but a little tighter. To create the right tension, which allows to achieve the real purpose of the instrument. To create music!!! As the stringed instrument is used, it loses some of its correct tension, its correct tenacity loosens. Tea aratic retreats Celebrated annually, it can be compared to re-tuning, realigning, readjusting, rebalancing this instrument, so that it can once again sing the song of your soul. It is a time to remember the teachings, but more importantly, to realign the soul to its spiritual path. Energy retreats lower and help participants re-engage with their spiritual path. Just like a musician adjusts the tension of an instrument’s strings and checks each chord to create the correct note, retreats realign you on your path. Just as an instrument must be checked repeatedly to ensure the correct sound, the disciple on the path must repeatedly readjust. Group practices serve as the pathway for this process, and retreats are similar to the big review.

The path for the warrior of light is not easy, but it is the only acceptable one for him, because it is the only true one.

“Nothing in heaven or hell, on earth or anywhere else, can impede the progress of the man who has awakened to illusion, who has glimpsed reality beyond the mirage of the astral plane, and who has heard, though just once, the clarion call of his own soul”.
