According to Grand Master Choa Kok Sui<\/a>, consciousness is necessary for spiritual evolution. To have Inner Awareness, one must practice Self Honesty and Detachment.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of questions, based on the spiritual teachings of GMCKS<\/a> and Paramahansa Yogananda, that we can ask ourselves.<\/p>\n

They can help us to be objective about ourselves – in our thoughts, words and actions.<\/p>\n

The answer is yes or no.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the quality of my spiritual practices?<\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do I meditate regularly in the morning and evening? At other times?<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Do I practice the techniques daily and correctly? With devotion and concentration or carelessly?<\/li>\n
  3. Do I include the Guru’s prayers, chants and affirmations?<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Are my meditations short or long, quiet or restless – am I alert, numb or drowsy? Am I striving to make each “meditation today deeper than yesterday’s?”<\/li>\n
  5. Do I try to remember, during my daily activities, the peace and joy of meditation? Do I practice the presence of God? How much was I with God today? In thought, feeling, and action?<\/li>\n
  6. Do I keep regular periods of silence and seclusion in order to practice the presence of God in a deeper way?<\/li>\n
  7. Am I setting aside one day or night a week for greater spiritual effort and for silence and longer meditations?<\/li>\n
  8. I must dedicate my work and all activities to God and Guru, remembering Who is the Doer?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Am I leading a balanced life?<\/em><\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do I get enough fresh air, sunshine, exercise and recreation?<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Do I study the Guru’s writings daily? What have I learned and what should I apply more fervently?<\/li>\n
    3. Am I following a simple, healthy diet? Do I avoid overeating?<\/li>\n
    4. Am I moderate in the use of all my senses – am I striving for self-control and purity of spirit?<\/li>\n
    5. Do I work with concentration and relax enough when I have the opportunity?<\/li>\n
    6. Do I balance my time correctly?<\/li>\n
    7. How do I use my free time: constructively, for a good purpose? Should I devote enough time to serve my family, friends, anyone in need, the activities of the Foundation or the Center, or the community at large?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      How is my behavior towards others?<\/em><\/h3>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Am I kind, considerate and caring to my family, co-workers, friends and fellow disciples?<\/li>\n
      2. Am I striving to become a living example of the Guru’s teachings, rather than just instructing others on how to improve their own lives?<\/li>\n
      3. Do I fulfill my obligations in life with joy, without being remembered? Am I creative, efficient, enthusiastic, energetic, focused, willing, attentive?<\/li>\n
      4. Do I indulge in moods? Am I angry, critical, jealous, afraid, worried? Or did I practice calm, determination, courage, hope, silence, and divine love?<\/li>\n
      5. When talking to other people, am I friendly, truthful, positive – do I avoid negative and critical comments? Should I avoid gossip?<\/li>\n
      6. Am I beginning to live more by the ideal of forgetting myself and serving others?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Am I a lone wolf or do I participate in group activities?<\/em><\/h3>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Do I participate in meditations, meetings, special events, workshops at my local Foundation or Center?<\/li>\n
        2. How much service am I doing to the Guru’s work – can I give more time or material support to his cause?<\/li>\n
        3. Am I willing to share tasks or alternate with others, or do I selfishly cling to the “position”?<\/li>\n
        4. Am I interesting other people in the GMCKS Pranic Healing & Arhatic Yoga path by my good example?<\/li>\n
        5. Did I bring someone to a Two Hearts Meditation session as my guest?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          How am I as a person?<\/em><\/h3>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Am I really striving each day to draw closer to God – am I developing a deeper love for God, for the Guru, for others?<\/li>\n
          2. Am I striving to seek God’s will in all my thoughts, feelings, and actions?<\/li>\n
          3. I feel happier as time goes by and try to have the right attitude in all circumstances?<\/li>\n
          4. Am I living according to the basic laws of human conduct, following the virtues and purifying the vices?<\/li>\n
          5. Am I practicing loyalty to God, to the Guru, and to the Guru’s teachings?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            By being objective with ourselves, we will have a clear idea of where we are. By reviewing this checklist in the future and comparing it with our current answers, we will know how much we have improved.<\/p>\n
