The need to evolve spiritually and intellectually

by CR (004)

Those who are undergoing their reincarnation here (in this physical world) belong to the most varied degrees of spiritual evolution and cannot go beyond their capabilities.

Those who consider themselves perfect spiritually, are therefore wrong.

For those who live saturated by ideas of sanctity, it is difficult to reconcile those ideas with the classification of the various spiritual categories set forth by Universal Laws.

It will, however, be useless for them to close their eyes to the truth, because at the cost of new reincarnations, long and continued meditation, study, suffering, work and experience, they will have to attain the degrees of spirituality which they are now missing, in order to reach factual knowledge, with the force of conviction resulting from clear evidence.

Spirituality is not the same as intellect. They are two different attributes which people improve, independently from one another. And it may happen that in the course of each incarnation one may develop spirituality more than the intellect. Both are essential for evolution and will have to be reached with effort and determination.

Spiritual development, just like intellectual development, is tied to a complexity of skills, knowledge and experiences which the spirit can only reach by reincarnating many times in various places.
