How Does One Develop Himself Spiritually? Question: How
does one develop himself spiritually? Answer: Through
the Great Virtues—not just the intellectual understanding of them, but by
trying to change one’s behavior to live in accordance with them. A person’s
spirituality evolves by virtue of his willingness to
determinedly change himself into a person who relates wisely and well
to the situations he finds himself in and to the people involved. The Ten
Commandments are not primarily a set of social rules which
tell us what we can and cannot do, but are guidelines to help the individual
develop emotional soundness. Spirituality is a result of forging within
ourselves a better concept of how to live with ourselves
and others. The Ten Commandments—and the Great Virtues—smooth the
course of social interaction and make us happier people. (07-1971) |
