This time of year, many begin to make lists. People want to eat better, feel stronger, earn more or have a little more relaxation. Those can be useful goals. But if what you really want is spiritual growth, the list can be much shorter than you'd imagine.

Simplicity is at the heart of Dhunami. There's plenty to read, think about, talk over and contemplate, but it all comes back to four essentials:

A daily spiritual exercise. This means a few quiet minutes every day, kept like an appointment you don't break.

True contemplation of the written works. It isn't speed-reading or collecting ideas. You let a passage 'marinate' in your head and your heart until it opens something inside.

Reliance on the Inner Master. Over time you learn to trust the guidance that comes from within, more than any outside voice.

Surrender; a little more each time. You let go of the need to steer everything and let Spirit lead.

That's the whole foundation. You can read and learn all day long and there is great value in understanding this way of life, but your personal spiritual evolution will always be found in simplicity. As you unfold in consciousness, you'll find more and more that unnecessary 'pieces' of yourself are gone. It is Sugmad's gift to all who learn, follow and practice ITs ways. The gift is becoming less complicated, more peaceful, trusting and secure in your own knowingness of the Truth within.

There's an aspect of the direct path to Sugmad (Dhunami) known as the secret teachings. They come to you in the degree and precise measure matching the level of your spiritual desire for growth, change and awareness. When those desires are directed to experiencing the guidance of the Inner Master, Piloji, the path becomes individualized.

So, here's a little secret: the key to having this inner relationship is found in fundamental number one - the spiritual exercise. If you will immerse yourself in the daily exercise with Love, Trust and an open Heart then all of the other essentials will be presented to you by the Inner Master at the precise moment you are ready. They will continue to develop quite naturally without over-thinking or worrying about anything.

Love the exercise; Love yourself; Love the Inner Master and see what happens.

That is all!
