Being
Spiritual As
a human being we have two facets of life. One pursuing the physical manifested
itself... the physical body that lives for approximately 70 to 80 years and the
other our real self... our soul the atman within that exists within our heart.
The ultimate
crux of life is... our soul atman within our heart is the owner
of the body and it is this soul atman that has manifested the body
and not vice versa. The ego within every human being always tries
to contradict this statement but the absolute truth can never be
belied.
If we need to
live our physical manifested life... the sojourn of 70 to 80 years
peacefully and without much hindrance... we need follow the path
of religion. And religion is best taught by Ramayana (the famous
Indian epic)! Following the dictates of Rama (maryada Purushottam
Rama as he is popularly called) one can live the present life to
its best.
However
if one desires venturing into the domain of our inner self... the world of 8.4
million manifestations... one needs traveling the path of spirituality. It is
spirituality that teaches one the path to enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally
salvation (moksha). Following
the path of spirituality means trying to reach the end goal of life... the 8.4
millionth manifestation at the earliest! It is Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavad Gita
alone that gives the gist of spirituality from A-Z. And what is Bhagavad Gita?
The most sacred document in Hinduism... Bhagavad Gita is the doctrine given to
mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata. Being
Spiritual?Bhagavad
Gita enumerates the benefits that accrue to every spiritual seeker and also defines
the path (the uncharted territory) that has to be traveled by every individual.
The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all... one finally gains enlightenment
in the end. Essay
