Negative impact of personality defects in one’s personality on spiritual practice
SSRF Alert
There is a saying in the ancient scriptures which says that:
The mind is responsible for both man’s binding and his ultimate liberation from the cycle of birth and death or happiness and unhappiness.
As we saw in earlier chapters the personality defects in a person are responsible for unhappiness, whereas his qualities contribute towards his happiness and contentment. The personality defects and qualities of an individual also impacts society especially if a person is in a position to influence society. Today with the popularity of the Internet and social media, the scope of how one person can affect others across the world has dramatically increased. Personality defects generally result in giving a person and others unhappiness and also warps one’s attitude towards life. However apart from just unhappiness there are also spiritual repercussions to personality defects. Let’s look at what happens to a seeker who tries to practice Spirituality but has many personality defects.
- Lack of concentration: SSRF recommends the spiritual path of The Guru’s grace which has 8 steps in spiritual practice. Although chanting the Name of God is the foundation of this spiritual path, it becomes difficult to create a centre of the chant (a devotion centre) in the subconscious mind as it is already full of personality defects and ego. Due to various personality defects a seeker is unable to concentrate on the chant he is chanting. In fact due to one’s personality defects, a person finds it difficult to concentrate on any type of spiritual practice.
- Reduced capacity for spiritual practice: Mistakes committed by a seeker due to his personality defects and ego reduce the energy achieved through spiritual practice, and his capacity and efficiency also get depleted.
