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.”
