    Vishwanath told a nice story in Satsang at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Bad Meinberg this morning. It is a story about spiritual growth, about the small steps you have to take.

    1. You walk along a street. There is a big deep hole in the sidewalk. You do not see it and you fall in it. You don't know where you are. It's not your fault! It takes an endless time to get out again.

    2. You walk along the same street. There is a big deep hole in the sidewalk. You do not see it and you fall in again. You know where you are. It's not your fault! You get out quicker.

    3. You walk along the same street. There is a big deep hole in the sidewalk. You see it but you fall in nonetheless. You know where you are. It is your fault. You can easily get out again.

    4. You walk along the same street. There is a big deep hole in the sidewalk. You see it and you walk around it. You don't fall in this time.

    5. You take another road.
