Spiritual exercises - serve to rediscover light and love
A disciple who goes to spend time with his master or who immerses himself at home for a few hours in a study of his master's thoughts, feels himself transported into a world of light, purity and love. But then, unavoidably, he returns to everyday life where he is obliged to meet all types of people and all sorts of realities. After a while, he notices that he no longer has the same faith, or the same enthusiasm; he feels that he has once again become dull and heavy, and that his ardour and his love have diminished. What has happened? Like a hot liquid that is then exposed to the cold, his temperature has changed. This phenomenon is completely natural. The teaching a disciple receives from a master resembles the contents of a container. The contents are warmer than the prevailing atmosphere, and when they come in contact with it, they gradually lose calories and their temperature drops. But what is lost can be replaced. This is the purpose of prayer, meditation and all spiritual practices: to seek at the Source those luminous and warm elements that you have lost.
