Sometimes I consider taking a break from all things religion and spiritual. Like, completely. Just stop all of my study and do my best to focus on other things in my life. If I were to do this, would I be setting myself up for failure?
Suppose you want to get real muscular. So you go to the gym regularly. You work off all of your fat but aren’t muscular yet. If you were to take an extended break at that point, it would be completely detrimental to the goal. Persistence and dedication is key.
I suppose spirituality is something like that. You build up you wisdom and strengthen your soul through it. But you lose progress if you take a break and allow yourself to start becoming attached to the material world once again.
So, this is a question for everyone. Is taking a break from spirituality dangerous or at the very least foolish? Must I remain persistent and not tire? I’ve pretty much been on a break for this whole year. No mediating or nothing. I feel weaker because of it, my mind is always restless and racing, and I have no inner peace. I had inner peace when I was well devoted to my spiritual practice.
