Spiritual progress and growth can basically take place in two different ways:
1. Within and during one physical incarnation consciously and intensely acting toward God-Union oneness with God . This conscious and direct spiritual progress is done by evolving divine love in all situations of living. The practice of Kriya Yoga will ease and substantially speed up that inner purification and uplift of our vibration.
2. Working step by step on your spiritual growing over the course of many embodiments, moving step by step up into higher celestial spheres of vibration until you at long last reach God-Union and thus God-Realization. This is the common way for most who follow the path of fussy life . Fighting in life and forced by self created karma through a series of more or less painful situations until options of loving results become more and more usual reactions and activities in living.
The law of karma is the guide for all subconscious learning and spiritual progress.
The law of karma says: Whatever you do to others will likely to be experienced by you. Based on experiences, the majority of of humans learns through steps of time and experience. The conscious God seeker chooses to directly search for and utilize solutions of Passion.
First have a look at the second one. Incarnation by incarnation moving upward with your vibration toward God-Realization. This means working your self out of the cycle of physical reincarnation, astral reincarnation, causal reincarnation, attaining soul-realization and ultimately God-Realization.
In between the physical dimension of existence and soul-realization there are hundreds of different spheres to pass through. This is a very common way of progressing guided by the law of karma until you learn to directly follow your heart and guidance from Supreme Being available to all mankind . It means that you may survive a normal non-spiritual life with no endeavours to spiritually learn. The divine creation is made a certain way that keeps people learning without understanding it. Subconscious learning. We act without thinking how, receive a certain consequence and assess result with other effects from different self made actions .
The grace and mercy of the Lord is of such loving nature that everything we live and suffer through leads to an effective learning procedure for our Divine Being. Meaning that during the course of numerous embodiments we continuously learn and spiritually advance, sometimes throughout dozens or hundreds of incarnations , until we finally find ourselves involved in a conscious search of the Divine, thus starting to speed our endeavors to succeed faster and faster. Our soul hungers for the Love of our heavenly father , our cosmic eternal lover and we suddenly and willingly drop all that could ever have separated us from becoming one with our beloved source of Love.
As we drop increasingly behaviors, desires and wishes that might have caused us to stay away from our beloved one, we come closer and closer, starting to perceive - first behind the dust of ignorance - small brilliant sprinkles of the Divine Love surrounding us all the time. As we get about our source, we perceive more and more precisely the loving truth of God and ourselves as his Divine Children and our efforts supported by our ever increasing enlightenment of our consciousness and awareness of his almighty Love, this Divine Love is acting like an infinite magnetic power the closer we get to God. All we need to do, is just drop more and more of what ever was parting us from him and he, the Divine will carry us back to our Divine Home on his vibration of Divine Love. We may easily fly on our wings of Love - on our way to God. The more we concentrate on God and his Divine Love, the more of his Divine vibration of Love is entering our being. Devotion of life and daily work to learn to love like God is the physiology of Kriya Yoga. To increased exposure of God love and use God love inside all expressions of our being in all situations of living.
The path of conscious direct learning to love is the innovative and smart path to progress without going through any pain or discomfort at all . God is love, thus God always extends results of love to directly end the cycle of rebirth and go back home straightaway . Love in all situations is the key to oneness with Supreme Being, to God union.
