Here is an infallible barometer to find out the degree of your spiritual progress. How would you feel, if:

Your clean hands or best clothes are stained.
You stumbled down or commit a blunder and are laughed at.
You are hurt accidentally or stung by an insect or scorpion.
You suffer from illness or pain.
You do not succeed in your efforts.
You do not get a thing that you want, or find that some thing you possess is missing.
You are kept waiting for a long time by some other person.
You are insulted or abused for no reason.
Others fail in their duties towards you.
You suffer a loss or bereavement.

If none of these can disturb your peace of mind and you are indifferent to them, you have won the struggle and achieved 50% self control.

God sends trials and troubles to strengthen your character: Greet them and test yourself.

that was a nice read, appreciate it!  
 These simple questions, to me, really intertwine both the profound concept of mindfullness, with the reality of every day life. again thanks man, have a great day.

Yes.. These simple questions will actually reveal what is our actual status in spiritual progress.

It helps me to shatter the ego that I know something in spirituality..

I feel these questions are essential for every spiritual aspirant..
