Every skill, trade or art requires training to flourish. Similarly, an individual needs to be trained for about two decades for becoming an engineer, doctor, or a manager. An athlete or an artist follows the same path before achieving the success. In the similar fashion, learning spirituality also requires sustained and disciplined approach to unlock the treasures of inner wisdom.
