The Spiritual Process

Apparently two paths, but in reality only one Royal Path.

The path of the mind, the hypnotic music of the senses that, like musical instruments, distract and trap the spiritual aspirant in the incessant pursuit of pleasure and the apparent incessant escape from suffering, convinced that he is seeking happiness, but in reality seeking to preserve and increase his suffering.

The mind, as it listens to/depends on its own voice, its own discernment, and clings to this sensory music, keeps the aspirant trapped in the cycle of death and rebirth, the Wheel of Samsara. The path of the mind is the path of suffering.
 

God leads to Bliss.

The path of the heart is one in which the mind empties itself of its content, of its beliefs, renounces sensory music, and seeks to listen to the voice of the heart, the voice of God within itself. The heart does not chatter like the mind, it is no longer one of the inner voices, it is different, it is grand, but it speaks only once, and only when it wants to, so only those who are surrendered, those who are thirsty, those who have sacrificed, or try to sacrifice sensory music, can hear it.

The mind fears the voice of the heart, for in ignorance, blessing is seen as punishment and punishment is seen as blessing.

For the deluded, renunciation is a punishment, an unnecessary deprivation. For the wise, Renunciation is seen as Divine Grace, an opportunity to achieve Uninterrupted Communion with God, exclusive Devotion to God.

The path of the heart is the path of Bliss. Bliss is the essence and also the body of God.

A Seeker of Truth walks the Path of the Heart.
