I would like to add that something amiss between Ashok Kumarji's doubts and your final verdict When the student is ready the Spiritual Master appears.
Ashok Kumarji Spiritual Life is the mode of transport or method or a medium to effectively put forward the prayer of the soul to become one with PARAMAATMA.
The final result of Spiritual Life is oneness with God or one's soul unites with the Almighty (AATMA UNITES WITH PARAMAATMA).
THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SOUL IS COMPLETELY PURIFIED OF IT'S VARIOUS SINS RIGHT FROM EVOLUTION TO FINALE.
Mind over Matter.
Here, first and foremost is to STOP THINKING & ANALYSING SPIRITUALITY LIKE ANY OTHER NEEDS OR PROBLEMS are treated.
The soul is in Spirit form(a tranparent vapour body of vibrations like the vapours of pure spirit(alcohol) for one to understand to some extent & I am not saying it is the spirit vapour which pl. note) which can attain any shape any time.
The souls are also distracted by other souls actions like how we are disturbed&redirected by the Vasanas of other humans.
Hence it becomes very difficult to stay put to the objective of Attaining Salvation(onenesswith Paramaatma).
Paramaatma is smart enough to test every soul to the extreme to finally appreciate & accept.
Don't go by the fearful predictions or ideas used by so many Spiritual Leaders to instill a fear in oneself and thereby the person unknowingly surrenders to him out of sheer fear.
The Intellectual power of the Mind will naturally recognize the Divine Spirit once it comes of age by staunch penance which is the selfless prayers of ones' soul.
Finally don't ask for the result for everything in Spirituality, Just do your duty or KARMA and the rest is achieved automatically, even one has to sow the seed and wait for the tree to bear fruit of whatever one has sowed and you are asking whether the fruit will materialize or not even without sowing the seed.
Meena Devi Dasi : Thank you for taking the time and deep thought to share your understanding.
The tendency in general is to consider that advancement in spiritual life is by one's own endeavors: If I fast, or I renounce, or I become learned in many books, or I do charitable works.. But this is not the case. There is someone waiting for us to turn to Him with the certain mood and desire He is looking for. When we ask certain important questions that only human beings can ask then things start to happen. The first question is, "Why am I suffering (birth, death,old age and disease)?" Then we are open to receive the mercy for the first step which is to simply be able to acknowledge He actually exists.
That the source of everything is in fact a sentient being, a person. That's a first step. Then we inquire who am I and what is my relationship with him. When we begin to inquire sincerely He makes the arrangements. These verses from EPH 2:8-9 describe this beautifully: "For we have been saved by grace through faith and this is not your own doing it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
