Spiritual
means something
relating with the spirit - the soul
(Atman), in Sanskrit it is called
Adhyatmik (Adhi + Atmik = pertaining to Soul). These are
lingual definitions which you can find in dictionaries.
But if we want to recognize its importance, it can be said that,
“SPIRITUALISM
IS THE PATH THAT LEADS US TO OUR CREATOR.”
When does a person
starts walking on this path?
Many
of you must have thought at some point of life
“Who am
I?”
If
you have not thought about this, give it a thought today. The day
you think about it, you take your first step for a spiritual
journey. And when you start searching for the answer you start
entering the unexplored zones of your own self.
Guru – your spiritual
guide.
This
is the time when you need a Guru,
your spiritual guide. Some one who has walked much ahead on this
path. Remember, a Guru is not
someone who mesmerizes you with miracles; That is something a
magician can also do. A magician can bring ashes from nothing, or
show you something coming out of his empty hand. These are tricks.
Remember the laws of nature are set by
The PaR BrahM – The Almighty God. A flower
blossoming or a child taking birth are the miracles performed by
The God. Nothing can
match the miracle of Spring after Autumn, small seeds growing into
giant trees… NO, nobody can match the miracles performed by the
almighty. A real Guru will
never try to impress a crowd with magical gimmicks. A
Guru gives
knowledge. If your Guru’s
blessings do something good for you it is the almighty, the
divine element of the almighty in your
Guru, which acts.
Different
Paths – which to select?
There
are lot many paths, sects of religions, which should be
selected? This can be very confusing. But remember, if you really
want to reach your goal, all the spiritual paths lead you to the
same origin – The BrahmaN.
As every drop of
water that falls from the sky travels towards ocean, in various
forms of springs, puddles, rivers etc. every sect or spiritual
path takes you to the BrahmaN.
Everybody has a
different kind of inclination, various kinds of likings. Some one
is attracted towards Bhagavan Krishna; Some one is attracted
towards Shri Ram or Shri Shiv or Bhgavati Jagadambika or Mahakali
or Maha Lakshmi. Some one may feel a strong devotion for Shri
Ganesh or Shri Kartikeya. But remember in all the forms the
BrahmaN has displayed himself. Like
wherever the rain water falls its origin is Ocean. Ocean is the
place from where the clouds are formed.
You may have
devotion for any form of God, ultimately you worship the
BrahM. Your
Guru can guide you
step by step towards the final destination.
This is the beginning of our
spiritual bridge.
May
Shiv Shakti Bless Us All.
May
all be happy.
May
all be healthy.
May
there be peace everywhere.
