Responsibilities and Spiritual Unfoldment
We are often of the opinion that we have to give up everything for the Master.
We do put our inner life in the hands of the Inner Master, but this doesn’t mean your house, your family,
your TV set–especially if there's a good "Rockford" show on. You want to be careful not to be careless with
things you give up.
–Harold Klemp,Journey of Soul, page 47
When we come into this world and take on responsibilities, this is where we find our spiritual unfoldment. If we think we'll find it by giving up our responsibilities, that is not the way. There is no quick way. Maybe you don't get along with your wife, so you decide it's time to go and join a religious order. You leave thinking you've solved that problem and it's all taken care of. This is shirking our responsibilities; this isn't the way.
