Singleness Of Purpose

 When people get together to share about their transformation process, their spiritual journey, they know enough to keep their opinions to themself.  Spiritual groups that I know of that seem to work, stick to talking about the masters who have been successful in the journey.  So they often quote literature that everyone can agree is the “real deal.”  Singleness of purpose means that you are there to help one another and especially to help the newer ones among you, just starting on the journey.  Wisdom is in the literature, such as Sutras, Big Book, Bible, Koran, Vedanta, and books that seem to gleam wisdom from such sources.  Opinions are ego trips.  In such meetings I never try to say, “In my opinion,” because it is just that and I am a mere beginner on this path.  My purpose is not to show off but to show up and help another to grow.
