From the
ape man to the present human being mankind has evolved through
millennium of countless changes in
physical, mental and spiritual spheres. Learning to use hands
was an intellectual leap to ensure
survival. Then in succession linguistic competence and cultural
take off occurred. As the evolvement
gifted the human being a super intelligent brain, having two
hemispheres one handling the logical
emotional and the other the holistic and creative, mankind
was able to master and control the
universe and consequently the mind became ineffably
complex. As the gratification of
sensual appetite and luxuries began to flourish, life became a
chaotic web leaving the world restless
and turmoil. But because of the gift of the higher thinking
brain, manhood have been relentlessly
searching for the removal of sorrows and pain and to make
life meaningful and happy. The
fortuitous unpredictable and transient nature of life led to the
thinking of purpose of creation and the
sublime duties of mankind. And it dawned on that there
is a spiritual core for transcendental
awareness to live in love, peace and harmony.
Spirituality is the expression of love, compassion and service.
Everlasting
happiness is possible only through
adherence to truthfulness in thought, word and deed and
that is what meant by spirituality. It is
the basics of human life that is not to be conformed but
confined. It is not avidity, vagary or
subject to choice. It is like the candescence of light inherent
in human being.
The
inceptive way to that holy travel begins with the inward knowing.
Sense organs are the internal
representation of the external world. It is always alluring and
appeasing to the person’s frame of
reference and habit which is deflective. Knowing self begins
with metaphysical awareness. For which
just sit down for some time setting a timer. Then record
the thoughts that passed through your
mind, no matter whether it is good or bad, right or wrong.
Then analyse the thoughts to see mind’s
ramblings. Here comes the importance of
contemplation to confine the
dissipating mind. Your journey to self realisation has begun and you
will find the inner energy
orchestrating with the external energy and sublimating the universe
with love, compassion and selfless
service. Harmonising the body, mind and
spirit is highly
essential since a peaceful spirit/soul
can only exist in a healthy body. Here comes the importance
of activity of body and mind. Physical
exercises of Yoga focus to maintain balance and concentration
through coordination of body, mind and
spirit. A flexible spine is the key to vitality because
life force can move freely through a
supple spine which can be attained through Yoga. When your
body is fit, then start working on your
mind. There is a saying “train your mind to mind your life.”
Mind can be compared to a monkey. Mind
can easily build stories, create dramas and set a series
of episodes with the emotions ruling us
which can tend us to be weak or strong, happy or
unhappy, peaceful or worried, pure or
impure, healthy or unhealthy, lovable or cruel.
Meditation is the strongest tool ever
to keep the mind strong, happy and peaceful. It is good
to accept a master to help undergo the
workouts. When the skills are acquired, you can do
yourself and guide others to reap
happiness and harmony.
Once the body is healthy and the mind is powerful the
spirit/inner energy starts working.
When the spirit gets the control you are in the right path.
It increases the capacity to love and
be kind to self and others and attain the strength to
confront and transform sufferings and
offer everything to life thereby one can realise self,
love self, respect self, care self,
heal self and transform self. It helps you to know your
higher self and can feel lighter and become more empathic which results in
self volunteering.
Attaining the spiritual knowledge and
power reminds us that “we are all ONE.” In my
Perspective spirituality is “Think
good, Say good and Do good” which in turn kindle the light
of love transforming us to a heavenly
abode.
