This is the last of four talks at a recent retreat in New Zealand. In this session we explore the two approaches to the spiritual quest: one is described as the ascending path - 'āroha-panthā,' and the other is called the descending process or the 'avaroha-panthā.' This is the path of acceptance and humility and appreciating the need for Divine intervention or Divine Grace.

We also deal with how people can take home these practices and develop a personal daily spiritual practice.
