SPIRITUALITY: Have you ever patiently tried to understand the actual meaning of this word?
We hear this word very often in various situations. What does spirituality stand for?
Spirituality refers to the NATURAL urge in human being to find out/realize/overcome his/her NATURAL limitations in all aspects of existence.
Man takes birth with a lot of limitations. He/she can't hear sound beyond a limited frequency. His/her eyes are useless beyond a limited distance. His/her physical strength is very limited and conditional. His memory, imagination and thought power are highly limited. Moreover, man is influenced/enchanted by a lot of things in the world. Man forgets that his/her life is very very short and believes that he/she is eternal. His/her false pride and pretensions make him/her more and more limited.
By the grace of Nature, selected men/women realize these limitations in them, and that very moment, they get the glimpses of the unlimited entity existing extended from their limited beings. The awareness of the existence of an unlimited NATURAL behavior is called GOD. God can see anything. He has no limitation with His eyes. He has no limitation with His ears. He can hear anything. He can imagine anything. He has no limitation with imagination. He can see the Truth, for He is the Truth. He can do anything. He has no limitations with action.. See, how unlimited HE is!
This unlimited entity appeared in our thought because we realized the limitations in our existence. This is the important point.
Observe/Realize our own limitation in each and every aspect of our being is the only way to understand the unlimited entity, which is GOD. Internal awareness leads to the realization of our limitations and internal management leads us go beyond them.
Spirituality means self realisation of one’s own limitations .. Being self- realised of our own limitations, understand the ultimate entity- which has no limitations!! Great thought !! Interested to read more..
ReplyDeleteYes. That is the beauty of our Darsana-s. We say: Observe, Understand, Evaluate & Evolve in Divinity. This is our system. If you purify yourself by Self Observation and Management, Divinity appears in you effortlessly. Your job is only to prepare the field, for the Divinity to grow by Its own Will..
