The spiritual road is not one of ease and bliss, but one of stumbling and wrong turns and errors and all these things contribute to the growth of the soul. There are many in this society who peddle religion as a path of ease. They say, believe such and such and you will have a life of bliss in which your every desire is granted. These are erroneous teachers. Life is meant to be lived in its fullest, that means accepting failure and defeat and learning about yourselves through these experiences. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-06-14-Hindrance#Failure.2C_Adversity Ham]

==Worship==
Worship in itself has no technique, for it is the experience of personality with the Original Personality, our Father, and that exchange cannot be formulated. Given cultural conditioning, biological tendency, and personal orientation, you can craft for yourself methods that will bring the worship experience to you. If you picture a drop of water on a table and adjacent to it a dry paper towel, the methods you develop for worship are intended to close the distance. Once the paper towel and the droplet meet, there is absorption; there is merging. This is the worship experience. When personality of son or daughter meets in the embrace of the Paradise Father it is a form of oneness much like the meeting of the water and paper. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-06-17-Worship#Worship Malvantra]
It must be kept in mind that techniques, constructs, methods, are stepping stones and not the path itself. All too often divisions are cleaved between different groups of spiritual aspirants over approaches. Understand that these discoveries that you make that you wish to share with others are, precisely as you have stated, ways to jump-start. Let those to whom you have given this spark of initial energy the freedom to travel in their own ways. Then you have done the best, and you are allowing for the best to emerge. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-06-17-Worship#Dialogue Elyon]
