Some Cautions about Spiritual Reading

“I need to sound a few cautions about spiritual reading....Many of us are so intellectually oriented that we can easily misunderstand its purpose. Spiritual reading is mean to inspire us to change and show us how to change, but I feel sure the mystics themselves would agree—some having learned it through trial and error—that reading cannot be substituted for experience. No matter how many mystics we read, we cannot move forward on the spiritual path without practicing their teachings in daily life.”
