Why traditional scriptures are not going to help the real spiritual development?

Human are so much engrossed in the material attractions that they do not have any faith in the Statements of Holy Saints and keep on following the Vedas, Shastras and the Holy Koran, although they do not get true spiritual experience by following them. But the ignorance is so deep that human continue to follow them.

When they are introduced to some new methodology of spiritual development then they ask for experience as a proof of validity of the method. How one can get the result without practicing anything. On the other hand the person who makes himself eligible has to undergo certain changes before he can get any spiritual experience. For example, if one wants to have a look from a top of Hill, he must be ready to climb it first, and then only he can have that view. Without climbing the Hill nobody can explain the true details of the view seen from the top.

But if someone who has seen the path to the top and seen the view from it, helps someone, who is really interested to climb and enjoy that view, may enable the seeker to get to the top.

Similarly, one who has direct commune with the Supreme Lord and knows the method, can only guide the true Seeker.

True spiritual development is only possible when one is given the basic steps to follow with real life examples, by some one who is successfully practicing it.

So true Dr. Ratan. Definately, the one who has expericed God and coomunicated with him can lead us to Him.

If you talk about spiritualism and no religion, do you know that Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) is the one from where all the lines of spiritualism spring? All the great saints so say, not me...

Thanks Fariha!!!

I don’t want to discuss who is first or second in spirituality.

My question is how one can climb the hill when no body is guiding him?

If Books alone could have been sufficien to learn and practice everything.

A teacher in the class uses a book but the book alone can not make the concept clear and if it is some experiment then
the teacher is definitely needed. That is why we have teachers in the schools and colleges, otherwise only libraries would have helped.

True Dr. Ratan.

Quran is the Book, Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) is the teacher. He has explained and ”demonstarted” each and every aspect of life. He has answered all our questions as well. If someone follows him and his teachings, he is sure to reach GOD :)

If books can teach everything then there would have been no teacher around.

True Rohit, you are right. For this reason, we have a BOOK and a Teacher who explained it to us and taught us wisdom :)

The writer of the book has written everything but the living teacher in a class can only explain at the level of the student.

Do not confuse with the teacher who wrote the book. The teacher is required who can explain the concepts in todays situation to the student who may not understand anything on reading that book without the help of the teacher in the class.

Thus a living person who can explain everything is must.
