How to see if we are going the 'wong way'...

If we see ourselves developing:
Shraddha; Hiri; Oththappa; Viriya; Panna; Sutha; Chaga; etc. as we practice...
we can to some extent conclude we are following the correct Path... (but we may not be; so we should keep verifying ourselves against Dhamma; and never against 'meditation experiences' others claim to get )

If we tend to loose Shraddha towards Buddha; Dhamma and Sangha the 'Path we are on' is probably false...

Why?
- first of sekha bala is Shraddha
- first of pancha indriya & pancha bala is Shraddha
- first three of Sothapaththi anga is Shraddha
- Shraddha is the most valuable wealth (ref: Alawaka Sutta; pls. see this thread by pinwath Y2K)

Unfortunately loss of Shraddha is a symptom seen in many people pursuing Dhamma

A person with Shraddha never belittles Dhamma... he/she will accept the mistake with humbleness; and correct (whenever any contradiction arises) his/her view according to Dhamma...

We should always assess ourselves to ensure we are in the correct Path...

True; one need not be a 'fan' of Mahamevnawa to follow the correct Path (Ideally one should be a Shrawaka of Sammasambuddha Gautama; and many associated with Mahamevnawa are like this... )

Moreover, one should not look down upon other places... any place that teaches Dhamma without distortions (how to check? we have to develop an independent knowledge of Dhamma; from Tipitaka... if we do not want to risk being mislead...) equally worthy...

Personally I feel Mahamevnawa to be one of the best places that discuss Dhamma without distortions; personal interpretations; in accordance with the orignal teachings...

Theruwan saranai
