Those whose minds stay focused primarily on harmony and goodness will find their spiritual evolution uplifted. Those who, like most everyone else, go through life seeking pleasure and material gain find their activities result in a combination of good and selfish outcomes so their spiritual evolution is largely mired in the middle. If one persists in being lazy and ignorant, he or she can lose ground spiritually. The spiritually evolved person can see that everyone’s actions are just a result of their perception of the three qualities of creation, so they begin to seek the wisdom of the One who is beyond the illusion and they accelerate their spiritual development until they eventually unite with God. Having transcended the influence of the three qualities of nature which bind people to their physical bodies, they become free from the cycle of birth, old age and death by fully realizing their spiritual immortality.
