The process of spiritual perfection

The process of spiritual perfectionThe idea of a self-transformative process leading to a better self is probably at the root of spirituality. It suggests the possibility of a higher form of happiness, inseparable from a state of moral perfection, an accomplished wisdom synonymous with true and perfect humanity.
This lecture presents a summary of Ostad Elahi’s thoughts on what he calls the process of spiritual perfection. A process that fulfills the purpose of every being, which is to return to its Origin and thus reach the state of Perfection; it is driven by precise laws and dependent on specific means, such as human beings’ voluntary efforts to shape their thought and develop divine virtues.

      Does anyone know a forum where I can have healthy debates about Ostad Elahi’s philosophy?

    What a great review of process of perfection. The lecture was very helpful. The questions at the end were great, especially with the followed answers. It made me look a bit closer on what the lecture covered. Thank you.

    This is a great presentation. Setting this in the context of the historical view on moral progress really fortifies my understanding of what the process of perfection truly entails. As I reflect on what I can do on a daily basis to practice natural spirituality, I will take 2 aspects from this video: The first, that this world should be used to gain elementary understanding, and that while I am here, I must work to take this to the next world. Secondly, that supreme bliss of Perfection only comes to those who have transformed their self…Thank you for a great presentation.

    The process of perfection is described at once thoroughly and concisely, the pieces follow one after another so smoothly in such a way that makes the listener absorbs and dissolves the content within. Thanks for posting this lecture.

    Thank you ever so much for such a clear and succinct presentation of the main points of Ostad Elahi’s process of spiritual perfection. I think this is a great way to introduce and provide to people unfamiliar with Ostad’s philosophy, a comprehensive overview in less than twelve minutes. I find this presentation most inspiring.

    Thank you very much for this great presentation. It helps me to better understand the meaning of spiritual perfection and its differences with other ideas in this regard. I hope you will prepare more presentations about Ostad Elahi’s thoughts and teachings.
