29. True Spiritual Learning: What It Means and How to Avoid the Common Traps

Do you feel stuck in your spiritual development? 

People on the spiritual journey often struggle with receiving the full benefits of a chosen path: some get caught up with dabbling in multiple paths at once, others with over-intellectualizing the teachings, and yet others become attached to an outcome which thwarts real learning. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to follow a spiritual path—not just collecting teachings, but embodying them.  In the second half of this episode, we explore Mitra’s profound personal experience on the path of Rumi’s poetry. 

What You’ll Learn: 

• What true learning is on the spiritual path and how to achieve it

• The significance of committing fully to a spiritual path

• How Rumi’s poetry can be approached as a spiritual path in it of itself

If you’re someone who ….

• Is ready to up level your commitment to a spiritual path; or 

• Is curious about the path of Rumi’s poetry; or

• Feels stuck in your spiritual progress

…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
