Spirituality is the inner essence of any religion.Spirituality is that core arround which the entire strucuture of religious ideas,philosophy,values take shapes in various ways.So without spiritual content a religion is merly an empty bowl.
But with time the core becomes invisible and less important due to thrust on outer apperance.Then one day its core is gone ,thin walls changes into hard concrete with mulitple layers .This shallow and hallow system is slowly categorised into complex web of unending realities. With time spirituality is gone
But its not entirely lost.The fire of spirituality is saved by many masters,prophets and yogis from going extinct.They worked silently in choosen circle of few. For them spirituality was not a mass affair.
So what is a spiritual life ?
A spiritual life is a understanding that we all are part of same source destined for same journey towards the divine.Therefore all are equal in spiritual sense too.We are not merly bodies of flesh and bones, we are pure blissful consciousness.The ocean of happiness is inside us.Our true nature is conceiled by various identities assigned to us since birth.There is a witness inside us waiting for,to be revealed.When after a deep relaxing sleep, we wake up and say," Wow, what a wonderful sleep!". Actually who enjoyed and remembered that sleep, it was the witness not us.
How can we live a spiritual life ?
I will give answer in following points to make it less complicated.
1. Do mediation,because untill the chattering of mind does't stop we can't go deep inside to have this realisation of real self.
2. Cut yours ego and belive me it is the most difficult task. It is the " I " which is the root couse of our many unending problems.
3. Live a humble and grounded life with empathy,compassion,sincerity,gratutude
4. Try to help and serve others without any selfish motives.
5. Yes occasional solitude is required but don't cut yourself from the world outside because the world is a testing ground to measure our spiritual progress (If you meditiated 13 years in cave for 13 years against whom will you judge your progress, ) not against walls of cave ,but in the world and its people.
6. Try to live a moderate life. Moderation in eating,sleeping, actions.
7. Avoid intoxicants becouse we are searching for our real self and loosing sense of self under toxic influenes can make thing's dizzy and dangerous.
8.Read the spiritual texts but don't overlook the practicle part.Knowledge is a way to understand ,not the destination.
9.Believe me the master will come when the disciple is ready.
10.If your are looking for spiritual truth of life, just believe me that grace is already there.Why among so many people only you are looking for spiritual part of life, others won't, its because of grace.
11.First the Hallahal poison will came outside, then the nector. The dark night of soul will come too, you will fall mutiple times but with faith and patience you will cross them .
