How do we know if we are progressing

The Q&A section was marvelous!

It was so like Singaporeans to ask, how do we know if we are doing it right, and progressin on our spiritual practice/path.

And the Venerable answered using the Heart Sutra. (paraphrased)
"There is no attainment with nothing to attain"

It need not always be just like it was in school. The chasing of grades and achievement. The need to know how well we are doing.

Practice comes from the heart, and the heart is humble and not comparing itself to others, simply because there is nothing to compare, and that we are all one and the same.
