Personal Guidance
The residents of Siddhaloka can travel from planet to planet by natural mystic power, not by external machines. There are powers latent in disciplined spiritual life that no technology can match. Don't envy the engineer; cultivate the inner instrument.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I trying to solve with technology a problem that interior discipline would handle better?
- What latent power in me might disciplined practice gradually awaken?
