Gurudev, how do we increase our eligibility on the spiritual path?
The thought that you would like to enhance your worthiness itself makes you move in that direction. When a person starts thinking, ‘I am very worthy’, that is when you should realise that he has some problem.
When complaints start coming up, then worthiness starts reducing. When complaints end; when one’s gaze moves away from worthiness, then simplicity, ease and modesty dawns.
Whenever we feel that we have been blessed with far more than what we deserve, then gratitude wells up in us.
If we start thinking that we are very deserving, then something in us starts becoming small. When we start thinking like this, it is almost as though we are asking for rewards for our efforts; the same as joining a labour union, asking for wages. When we think that we do not deserve so much, then we behave like Masters, we don’t need to ask or get anything from anyone.
