The word "Adhyatmic" or spiritual is often used by aspirants and preceptors. What exactly is implied when this word is used? Is Bhajan or congregational prayer Adhyatmic? Or, does it involve religious rituals and ceremonies? Or, does it involve Japa and Dhyana? (Repetition of Names of the Lord and Meditation)? Or does it extend to pilgrimages to holy places? No, No! These are merely beneficial acts. Adhyatmic in its real sense relates to two progressive achievements or at least sincere attempts towards those two achievements - Elimination of the animal traits still clinging to human beings and unification with the Divine.
-Divine Discourse, Dec 30, 1977.
