Spirituality
The first step in spirituality is 'loving self'. That is the first hurdle that each one of us need to overcome.
Just this step takes ages to overcome.
Lots of people seem to love themselves. They are proud of their actions and words. But it is only apparent. It is not real. They don't and can't love themselves unless they get to know themselves. One who is not truthful with self in the first place, how can he love himself?
Why can't one be truthful with self? Because he is ever trying to fit into the 'image' that he has created of self. This image he is ever trying to protect, project and create. He has created it and yet assumes it to be true. And so he is desperate to protect it. He is ever trying to project it to others. He is marketing himself day in and day out. However good and best be his image, it is not him. And so even his image is praised and loved, he knows it is not 'him' and so feels unloved and unappreciated.
think about it!!!

points to be taken :
- Know the difference between religion and spirituality?
- why do we have to be truthful to ourselves?
- What is that which stops us from being ourselves?
- Do we really love ourselves? If we do, how come we hide our real self from everyone and even ourselves?
- Are we ashamed of ourselves? If we are, then how come we still hold on to the values, principles, attitudes, qualities and character that brings about that shame to us?
- Why not express that which cannot make us feel bad/low of ourselves?
- Who decides how we should be? What causes us to express ourselves in a certain way?
