SPIRITUALITY.. WHAT'S IT ULTIMATELY?

SPIRITUALITY.. 

NEVER A SINGLE EXCLUDED ENTITY BUT A FUSION OF EVERYTHING OF THE WHOLE IN A UNIQUE PROPORTION WHEREIN ONENESS ALONE SPELT EVERYWHERE!

A few times in life, as one looks thru' Spiritual Guidelines, something will catch his/her attention and further reading and introspection gradually leads to the subject he/she finds definitely interesting worth chasing..

As the individual thus starts discriminating between the real and unreal understanding the methodology of the same, he/she would easily get an impression that he/she is for that alone. Beyond,

Finding the way and practicing the same with a greater discipline, he/she soon increases the pace of that practice and starts talking a lot of it with ease..

Some times, a few join such a person and that group soon gets established under various titles with various messages float around..

Once in a way, the matter will not end there and
such an individual boosted by few power mongers and advantage seekers takes up active preaching on the subject and

Extends his/her preaching horizons stretching self to elaborate austerities and rituals involved there in..

An innate thrust there soon without a say gets many followers to his/her faith who start supporting/ advertising his/her philosophy far and near and enrolling more and more followers in the process..

Once in a blue moon such an individual would be straight away titled as

THE ONE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN

The whole of such a process, exactly fitting into what Lord Shankara says thru' Slokha 14 of Bhajagovindam,

'jatilo mundii lujnchhitakeshah
kaashhaambarabahukritaveshhah
pashyannapi cana pashyati muudhah
udaranimittam bahukritaveshhah'

'Many move with matted locks, many move with clean shaven heads, many have hairs plucked out, some clothed in saffron, others various colors, all for a livelihood(or power grabbing) none for Truth!'

The Great Saint humorously said in a congregation of His Devotees..

“If Spirituality is like an object of certain material, shape and size, I would have been surely robbed of that by this time!”

The Great Man thus conveyed two vital aspects of Spiritual Life in this context Viz.,

Spirituality is totally a different Entity from the usual ones with earthly benefits available around and can never be compared to any of those worldly gains or achievements obtainable through a process of dedicated working and disciplining oneself.. And

Spirituality being such an Entity, no one can ever get that to himself/herself with help any Master or Great Man in the Spiritual field however highly evolved that Soul may be. All Worship-able Great Men in the Spiritual Field for ever stressed the same point all along saying..

”This is what I am experiencing presently in my life..

See it yourself,
Confirm within yourself and thus
Steer your life accordingly..

Here,

All aspirations are good..
All paths are welcome..
All methods are recommended..

Provided the doing would sure bring in an improvement  

To the status of the man next and 

To the quality of life around in general!"

Unless this materializes, any doing on my behalf in the direction of Spirituality is neither Great nor Truly Spiritual!

We have so many religions and gods. We have had them for millennia. Yet we as a species haven't learnt basics of spirituality. What's wrong? #SpiritualLag
