SPIRTUALITY

What is spirituality? Go to a temple, pay for a puja, chant mantras 24X7. That is blind belief; not spirituality. My mom used to say “ harm not anyone intentionally; try to do good. I thought of her when I have gone through an article about thantriks. No thantrik or mantra can harm a human or no force in this world to harm another human being. But when you intentionally demean, harm or hurt another human being a force interferes to tell you that you are in the wrong path. My mom used to tell us don’t go to a temple and pray for wealth, don’t go there to beg for anything; never stand in front of him with greed. Chant mantras to purify your heart, chant it to make you strong enough to face this world.. It is true that no mantras or superstitions will make you wealthy or assist you to harm another.


In a temple you gain only inner equilibrium, inner peace when in trouble. It is a place where one can open up and even share the inner most conflicts and there the god will not laugh at you or write page full unwanted literature.. He listens, never chases, and never hurts. That force can identify each one of us from our actions, thoughts and thinking patterns. Spirituality is not a white or saffron Dhoti to cover up the cluster of clouds. It is beyond the reach of sensations, beyond mantras, beyond senseless columns. To practice it one needs vision. God’s vision is universal and in that supreme platform one should be able to declare “ I find no regrets in my mind because I never tried to hurt any one intentionally; I never supported a wrong deed”. If you can do that without fear then you need not worry for anything in this world. It is a belief that he listens from above the whispers of the wind, loud roars of the waves and even understands the minute negative signals of a brain. Fear not humans fear only conscience the only support source one can rely upon. Spirituality begins there.
