Spirituality is to master your self

20 October 2008 No Comment

WINNERS and quitters in life tend to become spiritual for various reasons. The conqueror type thinks spirituality will provide some special powers to conquer the whole world .The Suicidal quitter type become spiritual to seek solace and security.

Both will fail spiritually because neither understands how to deal with the world.

They should know that the world remains the same for everyone. The purpose of living in this world I neither to conquer it nor to quit it .Conquering and quitting can never get you spiritually enlightened.

True spirituality is to master ones own self .The Upanishads have a classic example .This world is like a big ocean .You are like a small sail boat in it, You can neither conquer this world nor escape it but can only sail in it. You can sail only if the ocean (world) keeps the boat (you) also that and does not enter into boat (you). The same ocean can help you to sail and the same ocean can kill you.

It all depends on how well you have learnt to sail the boat .Upon the mastering the self ,you continue to live in the world ,belong to this world , but are not bound by this world hands on whenever required, hands off whenever not required.

People around you may brand you as good or bad, big , small , successful or a failure .Some times you may have a smooth ride and at other times very rough tide , but you would still remain steady and unruffled to sail through this world and reach the destination eventually
