To remedy this misconception of your relationship to God, the first thing that must be remembered is not to judge by appearances.
Do not judge by the fact that today you may be very ill or very poor, or that you may be entertaining sinful thoughts or even be committing a sin.
Do not judge from any of these things as to whether or not you are one with God.
All such conditions can tell you is that at a particular moment you have a sense of separation from God. It does not prove that you are not one with God.
The reason that you cannot feel any progress in yourself is that you cannot feel spiritual.
There is no such thing as a person’s feeling spiritual. That is as impossible as feeling that you are honest or feeling that you are moral.
You can be honest or you can be moral, but you cannot feel it; you can just be it. There is no feeling about it, nor is there any feeling about being spiritual.
Being spiritual is a state of consciousness, which you are, but you have nothing to compare it with, since the “old man” is gone.
