SPIRITUAL
AWAKENING: NEED OF THE PEOPLE
[How Spiritual
People Live?]
Dear Friends,
The truth
about us all is that we are all spiritual beings having physical bodies
experiencing material life on this material planet called earth.
Since our true
basis is spiritual, our true existence gotta be based on spiritual life or
spirituality.
So, it is very
important for us all to know what spiritual life or spirituality or how a
spiritual person ought to live for the best & the happiest life here on
earth & hereafter.
Yes, let’s
discuss about it here.
BEINGS, SOUL & GOD
Spiritual
people see God in all beings; both living & non-living entities and so
treat all with love & reverence. However, spiritual people have special
reverence for human beings, because human beings are capable of manifesting
godly qualities by awakening their true spirituality.
ONENESS & SPIRITUAL QUALITIES
Spiritual
people will not discriminate people based on their origin, ethnicity, race,
sex, color, shape, size, caste, creed, nationality, religion, faith or whatever
material/physical identities; but based on the level of spiritual awakening in
terms of people’s manifestation of spiritual qualities like LOVE, PURITY,
CLENLINESS, DUTY, SINCERITY, EMPATHY, NON-INJURY, EQUITY, UNITY, PHILANTHROPY,
JUSTICE & HAPPINESS.
FREE, OPEN & BENEVOLENT
Spiritual
people are free & open minded people not bound by any dogmas, doctrines or
rules & regulations of religions or cults; but they follow all good
principles and remain benevolent human beings to all.
CHILDLIKE & HAPPY
Spiritual
people live in the present and enjoy what they do and have the childlike nature
of happiness; smiling, laughing & playful most of the time with no worry
for future J.
EMPATHY & NON-INJURY
Spiritual
people are empathetic & non-injurious and they always practice the golden
rule that we do to others what we want others do unto us. Spiritual people will
try not to injure anybody in thoughts, words & deeds.
FOLLOW PROPHETS, NOT RELIGIONS
Spiritual
people will follow the original teachings of all the true avatars [prophets] of
God like Krishna, Christ, Buddha etc but won’t follow the so called religious
doctrines of Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism etc. Spiritualists transcend all
the limiting religious belief systems.
BELIEVE IN GOD & INNER GUIDANCE
Spiritualists
believe in God, the supreme creator, maintainer & destroyer. Spiritualists
believe that God is present in us and our Soul is the indwelling representative
of God and so the conscience or intuition or the inner voice coming from our
soul is the guidance coming from God. So, spiritualists believe more in oneself
than any other inductive knowledge coming from outside sources like gurus,
teachers & others; nevertheless, spiritualists do listen & learn those
teachings acceptable by their conscience [soul]. So, spiritualists are their
own ultimate guides, taking guidance from God through their soul.
CONSCIENCE VERSUS MIND
In the
conflict between conscience, the guidance coming from Soul/God and the mind
coming from the sensual instigations; Spiritualists will follow the inner voice
of conscience.
GOD CONSCIOUS & FEARLESS
Spiritualists,
being sincere & truthful people, seeing God in everything, everyone &
everywhere, have no fear for anybody & anything. Spiritualists follow God
out of love not for fear.
VISITING RELIGIOUS CENTERS
Spiritualists
don’t go to religious centers to perform ritual activities or to experience God
or for spirituality, because they are already with God & spirituality
everywhere; but they may visit temples, churches, pagodas & other spiritual
centers, simply to see the aesthetic values of architectural marvels of the
buildings or just to enjoy seeing people around and feel the same spiritual
experience they enjoy as at anywhere else.
OPTIMISTS
Spiritualists
are optimists having positive mindset, believing that the best will happen now
& in the future. Spiritualists see opportunities amidst problems and are
aware of the ever sunshine behind the temporary clouds. Spiritualists can see
goodness in everybody, everything & everywhere.
SELF ACTUALISATION
Spiritualists
will go for self actualization i.e. living the best life, manifesting the best
qualities of the self. Spiritualists live as masters manifesting their full
potentials in life.
SELF RELIANCE
Spiritualists
will do all kinds of human activities; learn, work, live single or family life
but in freedom and never live like slaves. Spiritualists have a high sense of
dignity in labor and so they will be happy doing any kind of work.
Spiritualists will do their best in whatever they do and live a happy life
within their means i.e. live a self reliant life.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
Spiritualists
will apply justice as the ruling principle in the society, going for the merit
in all public selections, above all biases or nepotism and they will not
indulge in any kind of corruption or bribery.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Spiritualists
believe in reward & punishment system but will be against death penalty,
understanding well that all criminals in the world are not born as bad people,
but the social environment where they grew up, had made them so and so, all
criminals should be given the chance to reform themselves in reformative /labor
jails [short or long term] instead of killing them as punishment by hanging,
fire squads, electric chair, deadly injections etc.
BRINGING UP CHILDREN
Spiritualists
bring up their children with love & care, letting them bloom & blossom,
manifesting their best beauty & best talents. Spiritualists won’t suppress
or misguide their children but help them manifest their full potentials thus
letting them grow up as happy & useful children and later become happy
& resourceful people in the society.
GLOBAL & UNIVERSAL OUTLOOK
Spiritual
people have global & universal outlook and see humanity as one. Spiritual
people are friendly to all and so, they have no enemy in the world and live in
love rather than in fear and influence all people to live positive/good life.
BELONG TO THE WHOLE WORLD
Spiritual
people belong to the whole world and so they have no fanatic attachment to any
particular country, race, religion etc and will try to bring friendly relations
among nations & people of the world. Spiritual people truly bring love,
unity, peace & happiness among the people in the world.
NO PREJUDICE
Spiritual
people will always welcome all good/positive people & all good things from
anywhere. Good/positive people & things are those who/that directly or
indirectly help us enhance our lasting happiness in life. Spiritual people see
goodness in every being, living or non-living.
SPIRITUAL POLITICS
Spiritual
people will not involve in any party politics that divide people in narrow
& selfish party interests, but will involve in electing good &
qualified people as people’s representatives irrespective of their political
affiliations. Spiritualists would rather like to form a party-less
unity-government comprising of all elected members whose common objective will
be to serve the people doing welfare works for the people; instead of party
based government with opposition.
NO ENMITY & NO WAR
Spiritualists
believe in creating a world of spiritual people, where there will be no enmity
among the people and among the nations and so, no wars! Trillions of money
wasted for war & defense in the world, can be purposefully used for the
welfare projects of the people like removing hunger & poverty and raising
the living standards for all, on earth.
HAPPY HERE & NOW
Spiritualists
believe in here & now rather than wishing for the next life [after death]
and believe that heaven is here & now on earth and we should live that
heavenly happy-life here & now, manifesting our spiritual qualities in
practice.
LAW OF KARMA
Spiritualists
believe in the law of karma i.e. one gets what one does. So, spiritualists will
practice good karma in thoughts, words & deeds, thus bringing a good &
happy environment, wherever they live.
PURPOSEFUL LIFE
Spiritualists
believe that living a spiritual life in happiness is the purposeful life and
yes, spiritualists live a spiritual, purposeful & happy life.
