Like musicians, sculptors, painters and so on, spiritual teachers, self help experts or motivational speakers are a category of artists also, but that are not known as such. When you are in front of a beautiful painting, or are listening to a nice peace of music, you enter in a deep state of admiration, appreciation, or even love. You are like transported in another dimension and become one with it
But, the fact is that although you can enjoy and appreciate one peace of art, it's evident that you will not be able to reproduce the same performance like the artist himself, unless you masters the discipline also. If this is true for conventional arts, it is also true for spirituality and any other discipline.
The mastery of any kind of discipline requires years of years of dedicated practice and hard work, before significant results can appear outside. Having enjoyed listening to a nice piece of music does not mean you have become an artist. Unfortunately that is the common mistake people make in spirituality or self development.
Many believe that because they have enjoyed reading an interesting book or attending a wokshop on spirituality or self development, when they return home, results will come overnight and they will be able to live the life of their dream as promissed by the author or speaker.
This same error has gone through centuries and it explains why since the death of Christ 2000 years ago, humanity has not achieved real change. People are convinced that it is enough to go to church on sunday and read the bible, then they will be good christians, followers of Christ and all their life will change at once without any other effort on their part. Unfortunately, things do not work like that.and when people do not get what they want from life, they think that life is against them and so, they get frustrated, deceived and lose their faith.
Great masters never said that the path to any kind of achievement is easy.Not at all. Constant and consistent practice is necessary before any outcome can be achieved in the long run.
The Truth is that there is only one artist and only one performer: God Himself. He is the Spirit that expresses Himself (beauty) throuh human being, His channel of expression. But, for this expression to take place, favorable conditions are necessary.
These conditions are met only through practice and exercise. That is the only thing required from human being. When this requirement is met, God manifests Himself and results become spontaneous in the form the beauty people appreciate and enjoy.
