The Role of Effort in Spiritual Practice

A man asks about effort in spiritual practice, particularly mantra meditation. Rupert explains how in his twenty-year mantra practice, his attention would be focused away from the distractions of daily life to a single point, the mantra. As the mantra subsided, attention would return to awareness. Later, when he encountered the Direct Path, he found that asking, ‘What is it that is aware of my experience?’ could bring him straight back to his true nature. The mantra had created a well-worn pathway, making this transition a natural ripening process.
