SPIRITUAL FAMILIARITY

Spiritual familiarity is the feeling that you have been spiritual in the past, specifically in a past life.  You don't know in what way exactly you were spiritual in a past life, but the feeling is unmistakable.

In what way?  Maybe you were an aspirant, a devotee, a monk, or a priest.  For the feeling to be strong enough to carry over into your current life, it likely means that you were more than merely an aspirant, or even a devotee.

Supposing then that you were a monk or a priest.  As a monk or a priest you would have accumulated an ample amount of good karma, prompting the question, why have you been forced into yet another life?  Didn't you get the job done the last time?

But what job?  Could it be that the work you were doing, as noble as it might have been, was not the final work that you needed to get done.  The purpose of life, according to Ramakrishna, is to find God.  You still may not have found God.
