The Necessity of the Inner Work
“Although grace does play a vital role in our evolutionary progress, this fact does not diminish the necessity of the inner work. Practice manifests out of a deep command within the soul to use all means available to accelerate her spiritual enlightenment – an expression of our innermost collaboration with the divine will. Unless we activate our own capacity to support our evolution, how can we expect the divine to assist us? Waiting indolently for grace to do the inner work for us is an arrogant approach. It is no different than expecting water to spring from the ground without first digging a well. One needs to be prepared to receive grace, and through conscious cooperation with one’s evolution, to increasingly mature into that readiness.”
~ Anadi (Aziz Kristof)
