Spiritual Practice Should Bring Itself to an End

Based on my understanding that the recognition of our true nature transcends time and space and transforms suffering, should I focus solely on remaining in being rather than using all my progressive techniques? Rupert says: ‘Yes. This impulse that you came to the retreat with, to do something, to practise something, is an impulse that’s left over from the conventional search for happiness in the world. Your desire to do something is refined, but it’s not extinguished. Sooner or later, all spiritual practice has to come to an end. And in my humble opinion, a spiritual practice that doesn’t bring itself sooner or later to an end is not a complete spiritual practice.’
