In spiritual life, devotees experience ups and downs due to their evolving spiritual practices, influenced by past impressions (samskaras), associations, and personal effort. Swami Nikhilanand ji encourages maintaining equanimity amid these fluctuations, viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth rather than reasons for despair. He stresses the importance of realistic expectations and gradual progress in spiritual endeavors, supported by faith in divine grace and the path of devotion (bhakti).
