Why Spirituality?


Spirituality and materialism – do they go together?

One common doubt that everyone seems to have is : What would I get by practicing spirituality? I don’t want to leave everything and go away? I am a householder who is responsible towards my family and society. So, why spirituality? I am anyhow religious. Spirituality doesn’t bind you. It frees you from within and helps you to don your role in life effortlessly and happily not to forget your commitment to your role. Spirituality and powers don’t necessarily go together. Spirituality only deals with dropping off the ego which is the pain giver and which stops us from experiencing life for what it is. Simply put in Tagore’s words it takes you to -

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where the knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert and of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into the ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Read every sentence again and again. Don’t say ‘oh, but I know this poem.’ ‘I have read it already’. These and such related statements will stop you from experiencing and living life of abundance. If you honestly – I repeat honestly, not just verbally want to walk this talk then do it. Stop verbalizing and arguing. T

Towards this end of freedom we will be working for in the days to come and then experience the fullness of life and ourselves in the process.

Working towards freedom is
