A. The spiritual journey tends to be a long one spread over numerous births/lives including the present one during the time which the true spiritual seeker learns and assimilates spiritual knowledge from numerous sources which may be people, books or some other experiences. So, it's really difficult to credit any single ENTITY for my spiritual progress. It just happened. On the way, I was blessed enough to learn from diverse sources and move on....DIVINE MOTHER HAS BEEN GUIDING ME ALL THE WHILE EVEN WHEN I HAD NOT BEEN BELIEVING IN HER/NOT FOLLOWING HER....SHE HAS BEEN MY BE ALL......ULTIMATELY, NOTHING CAN SUBSTITUTE ONE'S OWN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE. IT's NO USE OTHER'S SPLENDID SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE IF WE OURSELVES HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT...THIS IS THE CRUX/BASIC AXIOM OF THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY....!.
