Are you a Saint? A Zen Master? How about just a good human being? How do you know? What are the qualification? Are there any tests you can take to find out your spiritual growth? Yes there are.
There are lots of ways to test your spiritual progress and life is constantly doing just that by giving you tests to help you evaluate yourself in order to make spiritual progress. There are also many ways to assess your spiritual level proactively and in this article I will provide one such illuminating test.
Human beings are complex and so is life. I am glad it is so. The test I propose in this document is to evaluate some aspects of your being and is by no means a comprehensive examination. Perhaps I will come up with a more complete system down the road, but for now let’s try this one test to get us started.
This test will help you determine if you have the right perspective, the right spiritual attitude towards life, or if you have been snared by society and entrapped by the ugly web of attachment.
From my experience this one test, although simple, is quite revealing. It is incisive and cuts deep into your psyche to reveal the conditions under which you are currently operating. Using it, I can not only keep a sharp eye on if I am slipping into the jaws of ambition, but can also determine the state others are in, with regard to their “spiritual evolution”.
By no means am I suggesting that you start to use this test (or others I might propose) to start judging the world or yourself harshly. The test is simply to be used as an indicator, to give you insight and help you with your spiritual work. So here is how the test works.
