Live Quality
All of us know people we consider spiritual, and deep down, we recognize a spiritual side in ourselves. Hardly anyone exists who hasn’t prayed at one time or another, or wondered if everything does indeed happen for a reason. But it’s also true that spirituality is assumed to be impractical, other-worldly, and metaphysical. God doesn’t enter into your career plans if you are like most people. But in the Eastern spiritual tradition, spirituality is about consciousness. The more aware you are, the closer you come to your spiritual core.
It does damage to life to enforce a separation between body, mind, and spirit. Let’s look at this in the simplest terms. The brain, a physical organ, registers activity with every experience. Besides mental activity, which obviously has a correlation in the brain, no spiritual experience can register without brain activity also. Many insights branch out from this single insight, that body, mind, and spirit are in union. But as a taste of new possibilities, let’s consider how spiritual values can be brought in from the cold to support your life in practical terms.
One of the advantages of the Eastern wisdom traditions is that you don’t have to wait years for a sudden burst of light that brings inner transformation. Every step of the journey supports your daily life. How? First, there is increased simplicity. As a divine attribute simplicity doesn’t spring to mind, but in reality this is one of spirit’s most powerful qualities.
In your own life, increased simplicity would have the following effects:
1. Life no longer looks so complicated.
2. Purpose and meaning replace random chance.
3. Conflicted inner emotions are resolved.
4. Problems move closer to solutions.
5. Everyday life becomes less of a struggle.
6. You develop a clear view of who you are and why you are here.
Rahul will share with you his experience:
On a recent trip to Europe I had observed a number of things which had a major impact on me.
The driver of the bus had high respect for his work. He would drive the bus and in the spare time clean the bus from inside as well as outside. Every morning he would dress himself in a waist coat and tie. Most of the time the drivers were better dressed than all the tourist. In Europe if a driver drives for 7 days at a stretch he needs to be given a 2 day off. In the morning the driver would greet us and then he will start the tour. When he is driving the bus he was totally act as a driver. When we all are going for the sightseeing he will be totally act as a cleaner and when he was greeting us with his smile in the morning he was totally as a part of us.
If you could be aware of the source of the mind, which is pure consciousness, you’d see that no ego arises in you. This is simplicity.
