- Spiritual
Enlightenment
Enlightenment
is pronounced enlightenment. It is never pronounced spiritual enlightenment for
the reason that traveling the path of spirituality one gains enlightenment...
never otherwise! No religious person ever gains enlightenment. One needs travel
the spiritual path to gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation
(moksha). |

- Love
Spirituality
Yes,
spirituality gives us the real meaning of life... a chance to know our real self...
the truth of our soul atman residing within our heart. Spirituality is gaining
access to the kingdom of God. Spirituality is knowing the crux of life! What life
is all about! Who am I? From where I have come? Where do I have to go? What is
my relationship with plants and animals and so on? |
- Spiritual
void
Think
of it that having born a human being... we have already passed a series of 7.3
million manifestations as an insect, plant and animal life. It is only after crossing
through 7.3 million manifestations... a soul atman residing within our heart manifests
the form of a human being... never before! |

- Gaining
Spiritual Enlightenment
Enlightenment
is always spiritual. It can be gained traveling the spiritual path. In the house
of God there is no discrimination. Any human being... where ever one may be...
whatever be the conditions... can gain enlightenment if one truly desires and
goes after it. Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed all
desired enlightenment in their lifetime, achieved it and became man gods. |

- Spiritualist
Spiritualist
is one who follows the spiritual path. One who is religious... the follower of
a religion goes to the temple, Church or mosque to pray to God and receive his
grace. A religious person primarily believes that God is the giver of all. In
absence of his grace... life on Mother Earth would be difficult to live. Hence
the prayers and worship! |
- Spiritual
Fulfillment
Yes,
that is what exactly happened with me when 15 years of age. In order to travel
the spiritual path and search for God, I reached a stage when I felt I would have
to forego everything that I called my own. My family... all relationships... all
material riches... everything seemed lost. |
- Spiritual
Awakening
Yes,
as one proceeds on the spiritual path... the Love for mankind and all living things
goes on increasing. Why? Is it because we become more aware of the in bonding
between the various life forms and the mankind or is it that we become more aware
of our real self within... our soul atman residing within our heart. |
|
- Cosmic
Life cycle
In
the cosmic life cycle of a soul atman... the form of human being is the highest
manifest stage. It is only as a human being the soul atman within would get liberated
forever from the bondage of manifesting a life form again and again. our soul atman the spirit within soul
atman starts on the cosmic journey as an amoeba (single cell formation)... the
first manifestation. Subsequently it evolves into multi-cell formation, then insect
life, plant life and animal life. |

- Truly
awake
Ultimately,
outpoured from the mouth of Gautama Buddha, "I have never met a man who was
truly awake" from whom Gautama Buddha could have learnt the intricacies of
spiritual life. In the times of Gautama Buddha there was not a single enlightened
soul who could have guided Gautama Buddha on the correct spiritual path. One who
gains enlightenment becomes truly awake! And one who has finally awakened... goes
to the abode of God, the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism) finally. |
