Question asked by Martin Chow

Much of what we learned to be Truth is inconsistent with the way we continue to live and function and it is as if the world is design to entrap us in our own delusions. Other than abandoning the secular life, how does one who live in the World know that his practice of spirituality is correct and on track? The mind deceives itself so easily, especially when it thinks it is righteous.
