Are Your Spiritual Endeavors Effective?

There is a simple touchstone for determining how effective your spiritual practice is, whether it involves sitting in stillness, being absorbed in movement, letting devotion and worship flow from your heart or giving yourself in service. Does it take you to the Source of your being? Does it dissolve your sense of being separate from everything else, or at least weaken the illusion that your are a solitary being in an indifferent universe? This, to me, is above all other measures and benefits.

Much appreciated note jeo. Measurement seems must for a seeker. Though Guru/Goroo guides either there is no illusion or there is, weaken illusion seems misplaced. So dissolved one, no seeking,no confirming either; until dissolved continue seeking and measuring progress.
