Spirituality is one word which puts a human being on the highest pedestal of life. It is field of Spirituality traveling on which one reaches the last leg of cosmic life nay the form of human being himself!
The goal of Spirituality is attaining salvation (moksha in Hinduism)! From the beginning of the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last manifestation (the 8.4 millionth manifestation)… the goal of every life remains the same.
The phase of life as a human being announces that the life has come full circle. It is only as a human being that one can get enlightened (reach the stage of Nirvikalpa samadhi) and attain salvation (moksha in Hinduism). Reaching the stage of enlightenment is the last step in the field of Spirituality.
Spirituality is living life as it was meant to be… not as we may have desired or wanted living it. Living a life of choice is not the forte of all human beings. Those on the path of pure Spirituality… the true seekers of Spirituality are sometimes able to manifest destiny by establishing absolute control over it.
It is a certain fact that only the true seekers of Spirituality become the masters of their destiny. Knowingly or unknowingly many people who have a materialistic goal in life travel the path of Spirituality and become successful in life. It was not a happening by chance… all was the result of a law which cannot err. These highly acclaimed individuals unknowingly tread the path of pure Spirituality and achieved the goal of their life.
Spirituality in other terms means that before we ask God the Almighty for material riches to be bestowed upon us… we need to compensate by giving something equivalent or more back to the community. This is the path undertaken by most successful entrepreneurs.
In terms of Spirituality we are not supposed to get anything unless we promise to do something in return… in the system of God there is fair play all throughout. As we desire… so shall be the corresponding karma we would be required to perform. Mere false promises bring us nothing.
It was the forte of JRD Tata that he always loved his country and the countryman. The benefit of the society was foremost in his mind all the time. The prime reason why the Tata Empire is known as the foundation builder of India! Tata name itself is representative of building a technological Empire for the benefit of entire nation. This is what Spirituality is all about.
JRD Tata was a trustee par excellence. According to him everything belonged to God and he was merely a trustee carrying out the dictates of God. In his lifetime he never built a house for himself. His love for the material riches of life did not seem to exist at all. His every endeavor was aimed at improving the quality of life of human life and the country as a whole.
What a noble persona JRD Tata was… a true karma yogi indeed! He did not live Spirituality rather Spirituality lived in him. He was a perfect example of how a true spiritual seeker must live his life. JRD may have never admitted that he lived a spiritual life but unknowingly he practiced Spirituality every moment of his life.
JRD Tata followed the dictates of Bhagwad Gita throughout his life unknowingly. Apart from being a true karma yogi… he also excelled in teaching the core values to the society. He was one of the rarest kinds that have ever dwelled on mother earth as material riches and comforts in life never attracted him come whatever may.
JRD Tata excelled in human values to the extent that even most accomplished people on the path of pure Spirituality get dwarfed by his accomplishments. Spirituality is not only seeking the domain of God but even in day-to-day matters of life every human being needs to practice Spirituality.
The famous saying, “whatever we want others to do unto us… we should do unto them” forms the core teachings of Spirituality. It is not merely a saying. It has to be practiced in reality as was preached and advocated by Napoleon hill in his famous books “think and grow rich”, “master key to riches” and the famous “law of success in sixteen lessons”.
These three Bible books by Napoleon hill… “Think and grow rich”, “master key to riches” and the famous “law of success in sixteen lessons” form the core of Spirituality. There is no argument about that. At every stage Napoleon hill has prophesied that before we can expect anything from God we need to give something back to the community. He was also a true practitioner of Spirituality from heart.
Spirituality definitely helps one take control of destiny. As we proceed on the path of pure Spirituality we tend to develop a positive approach towards life. Reeling all the time under a positive attitude of mind… One is able to fine-tune those critical aspects of life which are an absolute must if one needs to become the master of his own destiny.
Spirituality makes a perfect man out of a negative thinker. In the field of Spirituality there is no place for any negative thinking. One who has fixed a goal in life and always indulges in positive oriented thinking can not be a loser in life. It can never happen!
Spirituality imbibes the following virtues in a human being:
Spirituality makes you feel all the time that there is something higher than the mere existence as a human being.
Spirituality spells out that God exists within every living being as our soul (the atman within). It is God within us which guides us on the right path whenever we tend to go wrong.
Spirituality inculcates in every human being a feeling of positive ness all throughout. Floating on the positive mental plane brings one closer to our goal of life.
It is Spirituality and spirituality alone which prompts and guides one in the right direction whenever we feel cheated by the senses prevailing upon us. To be able to come out of the clutches of the five senses is what Spirituality is all about.
If we desire to know God truly then we need to follow the path of pure Spirituality. It is only as a true spiritual seeker shall we realize God one-day.
It is a Spirituality which cuts short the path and makes the whole world look like a family. In the spiritual domain there is no space for different religions, dogmas or creeds. Our wanton desires cease to exist… the moment Spirituality takes complete control over us!
Spirituality truly is the essence of life. However materialistic we maybe on the earthly plane… there shall come a day when Spirituality would completely wipe us clean of all the impurities within us.
Without Spirituality the life or a human being is like a rudderless boat going round and round in the unfathomable sea of life.
It is Spirituality which teaches every human being the real value of life… being spiritual is not being religious alone… Spirituality teaches us the core values of life… the real essence of us!
It is only through the medium of Spirituality that God is able to guide the mankind towards its destined goal. As many human beings… as many different spiritual paths!
Right from day one when we are born and until the last breath… it is Spirituality which keeps our heart pumping all through. It is Spirituality which clears all doubts that our soul (the atman within the body) is the real master and our body is but to decay and die.
Spirituality clears all doubts related to the concept of God. Whenever in doubt… the wise follow the dictates of the spiritual masters of the era! Every spiritual being merges his identity with the Supreme Being (the Almighty God).
Spirituality confirms that life has to go on… it is a journey to be completed in many phases (8.4 million manifestations in fact). It is Spirituality which confirms that the life of a human being of 70 to 80 years is but a trickle in the total life a span of our soul (the atman within). The total life span of the soul being a maximum of 96.4 million earthly years!
Spirituality has no relationship whatsoever with religion. Following a religion means following the dictates of a successful spiritual master… one who has already covered the journey and has become capable of guiding the mankind to its logical end.
Religion is meant for living a single span of earthly life. On the contrary Spirituality guides every living being to its logical end in the unending cosmic journey undertaken by the soul (our atman within).
It is Spirituality alone which removes the fear of death from those who have released the pinnacle of spiritual life. Spirituality gives you a commanding position in life. One can work for above 23 hours per day having gained absolute control over sleep. This is not only possible but can be observed by watching the topmost rung of spiritual masters.
The presence of Spirituality in our lives cannot be done away with for it forms the inner core of our manifested physical life. Behind every success lies the core of Spirituality which guides one inherently all throughout the cosmic journey.
In practice… when I started in search of God at an early age of 13 years… I was so confused about life that I thought it was only the religious masters who shall guide me on the right path. I was so wrong.
It was at the age of 37 that I came in contact with God one-to-one basis. It was the pinnacle of my spiritual pursuit. My life had come full circle. This was to be my last manifestation. I had reached the end of cosmic life. The distinction between Spirituality and religion were now absolutely clear to me.
Having been able to traverse the path as a true seeker of Spirituality and reach the end goal has been a really pleasant experience. Everything I try to convey to the community is based on true personal experience of life. Being my last sojourn on Mother Earth I have but to impart the pearls of Spirituality I have learned before I leave the mortal frame.
Spirituality is not to be practiced merely in theory. Spirituality is not contained in the sacred textbooks alone. We simultaneously need to practice pure Spirituality and try reaching the end of the cosmic life. Achieving salvation in the present life would be something every human being would desire.
Why not all of us practice pure Spirituality all the time!
