My mind has shifted to a different zone since last month or so

I watched a video which triggered me into exploring more about that aspect of life, which we call Spirituality, and introspect deeply around it

What is Spirituality?

People will have different answers to this, based on their experience, personality, what they’re looking for and so on

I think it’s simple, knowing yourself in true sense is spirituality.

What’s not simple, is knowing your true self. And that’s because every moment since we’re born, and since our mind started evolving around this world we live in. We get more closer to the material world around us, and less to our true self

Each day we live contributes to detachment of wrong sense, detachment of us from ourselves and attachment to the material world. Which should be detachment from this material world, or atleast detached enough to know your true self

Why pursue Spirituality?

Your life on this earth is just you passing a part of your eternity. You, is not just about this lifetime, it’s about all the lifetimes you’ve lived before and all the lifetimes you’ll live afterwards. Spirituality helps you understand the past, the present, the future of your true self. And your karma plays a big role in your existences

It answers your past, which less people care about. I’m not talking about your past in this lifetime, but past in your previous lifetimes. Which explains how you’re the way you’re in your current life, and it also tells you what you’ll be in your next lifetimes

While you’re living, you’ve the opportunity to connect with yourself to understand your core, understand your past karmas and existing karmas of your current lifetime, to understand what you’re meant to be and how off-track you’re from that

And when you understand it completely, you’ve the chance to correct the course, and an opportunity to get closer to be what you’re meant to be

Why do people who were awakened spiritually, and who had power to lead with influence and material, like Swami Vivekanand or Paramahansa Yogananda, or Sri Aurobindo, lead a simple life?

Because they probably saw through their past, present and future, and discarded the material plane because that wasn’t they were meant for

Only those who truly think across lifetimes would not care much about the the power and money in this, or any lifetime

Having a truly spiritual mind makes you understand that

The Karmas

Nature is the biggest accountant in the world. Whatever you decide, and do, there’s only one thing in the world that notices it all, and it’s the nature

The air your breathe, the fire that keeps you warm, the water your drink. They are nature, and in spiritual realm they are the witness of your existence

Every small and big thing you do is registered. And it writes your future. The actions you take now, decides how your life will be, both in this life, and the next ones

Karmas also aren’t a thing of this lifetime alone. Why do some people get rich early in their life, while some have to hustle to even live a decent life? Or why is someone very intelligent at early age compared to others in same age?

It’s because of the karmas from previous lifetimes. Nature decides what to take and what to give to us, and it doesn’t run on a merit system, but karma system

God is Nature

Everyone has a different belief on if there’s god, and to what extent

My belief is that if you trace back the existing life, one by one, towards the history of civilisation, and with an open mind, you’ll realize yourself that there’re higher powers that govern the universe

The rotations of planets, around the sun, moon waking 15 days and dimming the other 15, the eclipses, the alignment of planets, the nature of every person who’s born, the human concept of time and how it’s essentially spiritually linked in different religions across continents

The structure of this universe, to the point of atoms, is thought through. And who can do that, if not gods!

Someone who’s capable of thinking to this detail, what to call it other than a god?

From planets rotating in their axis, and why around the sun, to having moon light up the absence of sun, to trees giving shadows and fruits, to animals living a non-karmic life but humans a karmic life

If you think deeply, irrespective of what your beleifs are, you’ll find tiny details in the way this universe works

And, that’s God’s work!
