It is indeed a blessing of good karma to be on the spiritual path. While we can progress well in our meditation practice to realise certain spiritual experiences, it is more important to habitualise the virtues in our everyday life. All other people need to do is to look at our behaviour to determine whether we are genuine spiritual practitioners or not. It is no point being able to attain high meditative states of inner peace, tranquility & emptiness if we do not exhibit such a calm disposition in our dealing with people and situations outside of our meditative mode operating in the mundane world.
