As far as I'm concerned, the spiritual life is just like any other endeavor-you can succeed or fail. And when the goal is actual evolution beyond ego in an intersubjective context, success or failure is plain for all to see.

We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.
