In this life, if you are born as a human, then you are the privileged one, as the birth of a human is a golden opportunity to gain a pearl of inner wisdom to realize the true self. But we are surrounded by suffering like pain, poverty, diseases, old age, and many more the list is long and endless. But is the suffering of life is the only truth many great souls like Buddha, Jesus, and Krishna born in this World and show the path of knowledge to remove the suffering of life, but is the suffering of the human life can be ended? The answer is yes and no. Yes, those who follow the path of knowledge and devotion to Give a blissful and inspiring life but who are attached to worldly materialism experience suffering and painful life.
Let’s understand the truth of suffering by this example suppose you went to the car shop and purchased the latest brand-new luxury car, which cost you a reasonable sum of money. What will you feel when you take this car for a drive to the places you want to go? It feels incredible, like flying high in the sky, a style statement, luxury on the wheel, and much more, but suddenly some vehicle hit the car and damaged it. Now how do you feel now? You feel low, like someone shattered your heart, not just your care but your life; the time of high becomes the low of your life. Now the happiness becomes the pain when you see the car, the same thing just a few seconds ago when you are driving, giving you the feel of perfect joy and pleasure, but after a few seconds, the same car gives you immense pain. It is because of the attachment to materialistic life. Attachment creates expectations, and you feel sad when things don’t give you the expected results. There is nothing wrong with accumulating assets or worldly stuff in your life. The problem arises when you get deeply attached to the material and make it a part of your life. The material is just for your utility purpose or to create ease in life, but it is not life. This the quite common with all human beings. So, where is the peace and bliss in life?
Spiritual Awakening – The End of the Suffering.
Spirituality is a process of knowing and realizing the inner being that resides inside you, free from all physical, emotional, and psychological attachments. This inner being also called the consciousness or Atman, or the self, is pure, eternal, and free from any bondages. It’s the supreme who witnessed this life and many lives at different times. But the ignorance of life is that we believe that this materialistic life is the only absolute truth and acquisition of wealth and assets is the ultimate aim; experiencing all-sensual pleasure is only satisfaction. For us, the idea of atman, self, or consciousness is a myth, like a dragon that we hear in the stories or watch on TV but never see in real life. But the idea of consciousness is not merely an idea but an absolute truth that many great souls of this World have experienced; it is hard to explain and very hard to experience, but many did in their lifetime. Spirituality is the path that leads to the liberation and realization of this ultimate truth. Spiritual awakening is the step that leads to the direction of spirituality.
Spirituality is that inner dimension of life that brings a positive attitude and inspiring behavior to deal with all kinds of problems in life. Yoga and Meditation are practices that help you to experience the spiritual dimension within; in India, there are many Siddha gurus & spiritual masters who give spiritual counseling to the people to allow them to show the spiritual path and inspire them to start their spiritual journey.
This spiritual journey will lead to the realization of the true self or Atmabodha.
So, what are you waiting for? Life is too short to start!
