A Gauge To Check How Spiritually Powerful Am I

The territory of spiritual understanding is both infinite and
unlimited.   Simply
put, spirituality can be defined as the rediscovery of the deepest values,
virtues, positive ‘sanskars’ or characteristics of the human soul.   The
innate attributes or characteristics of the soul (peace, love, truth, purity
and happiness) give the soul its power. The power of the soul cannot be
quantified either on a physical or a non-physical level. *The power can only
be experienced and revealed to the self and others through the 'quality' of
the above characteristics and the different forms they are given by the soul
itself.*

For a practitioner of meditation, whether a beginner or an experienced once,
patience and a gentle persistence guarantee two aspects of self-progress (in
varying degrees in different souls):
*1. rediscovery* and *revelation or expression* of one's spiritual
attributes and secondly, but very importantly
*2. the ability to give them an appropriate form internally or externally,
depending on the requirement of the situation*.

A particular soul might be good at both aspects, another one very good at
the first aspect and not so good at the second one.  When we choose to be
peaceful, we reconnect with our inner peace and create the spiritual form of
peace within our self. This form created is different for different souls,
depending on how powerful the soul is. So what is the quality of that form,
what is the quality of our peace?   Is it a superficial quality that is
easily disturbed with unexpected changes in our external circumstances, or
is it a deep peace which is stable even in the face of fierce criticism from
others? Only we know the quality of our spiritual forms.
