The path of spiritual is dogged by dogmas and false preaching. Some believe silence is important, some say learning scriptures, some talk of austerities, some think going to Himalayas or holy places.. Etc etc but what is the truth?
The above mentioned and all other stuff needed for the spiritual are found only inside of you and not in the outside world. Search for inward silence of mind, the peace and quiet from worldly thoughts, the cool temperament, the meanings of scriptures in proper living, the austere lifestyle and so on.
So why search outside? Get a guide for the path inwards and become spiritually perfect. The One you search is always inside you!
