Spiritual man and society...

-

Man since the very beginning is prone to ownership. He works hard in order to get recognition in society. In that process, he lets go off his own morals and values. Forsaking his own beliefs, he deliberately accepts the trending beliefs of society. Being so ignorantly committed to the material world notches him a reputable status in society. Now wearing the garb of society he becomes synonymous to it. Regarding him means regarding society. He becomes so strongly identified with society that there remains no existence without it. This is the characteristic of a highly materialistic man.

In contrast to an ignorant man, a spiritual man treads the path of truth. He does not let go off his moral principles and values at any cost. His commitment to the truth makes him stand out as a unique individual. Truth itself, shields him from the negative forces of the world. He remains devoid of attachments and the bondage of the world. 

Society being the whereabouts of highly ignorant beings perishes in the presence of a truly spiritual man, bee it even a spiritual society. A spiritual society is formed due to the collective consciousness of people. A society of any sort symbolizes ignorance. Wherever you find people interacting, be certain that they are bound to the feeling of ownership, perhaps in a subtle form.

Spirituality is a journey traveled alone. No society or organization comes along. It is the journey towards the self, where there is no third person except the lord and you. If incase there is a third person, be rest assure that you haven’t yet begun your spiritual journey. As the third person is the projection of your mind.

Hope and Positivity

This might seem contradicting to many, but the fact is that practicing positivity is not as beneficial as you think. It is a form of ignorance. Because, positivity involves the mind, it can never be positive. Remember, any act involving the mind is negative. Practices that help dewiring the mind is positive. Such practices abate the wandering of the mind. The movement of the mind is always flimsy and not unidirectional, so are hopes. We hope not one thing, not once, but many things and many times! So, we have desires sprouting from hopes and senses to achieve them. This is ignorance. Anything done unconsciously is ignorance. Because we are not aware of this cyclic trend of hope transforming into desire then act. These activities generally yield negative results. This causes disturbance, again compelling us to unconsciously accept hope. Now, we hope again, but to get rid of negativity. We hope positivity. This is ignorance of the highest kind as we dream and try to pacify our

Glories of 'Knowledge'

Knowledge is not heritable. It is not an asset, thus cannot be possessed. It is not available in books which can simply be acquired through mere reading. We must understand the nature of 'knowledge' first. Knowledge is the source of existence. The very idea of distinguishing one from other that streams from our thoughts is the result of enough churning of knowledge. It is the possibility to grasp reality, an aid for us humans to get a glimpse of the ultimate truth. It is the repository of truth and hence is beyond conception. This is not mere glorification of 'knowledge', but just a mere introduction of it. When man is an infant he cannot understand the difference between fire and water, until experienced or taught. The memory of an experience, retained to understand or delve into the subject is the dawn of knowledge. Only knowledge makes possible to retain the useful and let go the unwanted clutter of the mind. It is the benefactor of a composed mind and leads

Why do I feel cheated?

It may seem a nightmare when you realize that the your loved ones are no more the same. It may be either your friend, spouse, children or other relatives. Your confidence in them has drastically reduced. Why now, today your loved ones seem alien to you? The answer may be vague, perhaps a mix of emotions. Any change we perceive in the world is a result of the mental makeup of oneself and the other. Your interaction with your loved ones was determined on the basis of your mental framework which may be contrasting to your present mental framework. We find ourselves in a dilemma when things don't workout the way we expect it to be. Nothing seems to work. Our confidence is battered every time we try to rebuild it. Emotions of faith in the other, trust, love, sympathy, etc are all temporary as the mental framework of our mind is clutched in the wheel of time, which spins without break. These emotions can be replaced with their opposites with changing time! Our mind carries the
