A perspective on Spirituality

Many masters such as Jesus,Buddha,Krishna,etc have walked on Earth with a sole motive of spreading love and peace.They may belong to different religions,but their motive was one.They may have taught us different religious method, but if we really think about it, their focus was to make us a better human being.Hence I would not consider them as Religious Gurus (masters), but as Spiritual masters, with emphasis on one religion,i.e, humanity.

I believe that the answer to all our problems resides in spirituality.

Spirituality is a way of thinking; aiming towards self awakening, which can be achieved through self realization.It can be simply understood as knowing about spirit (self).We know very little about ourselves and our potential.The most important thing to know about ourselves is that we are a part of universe (Creator).And once we realize this truth,we start walking on this beautiful path of spirituality.

To be spiritual is to do self introspection.

To be spiritual is to realize that you are universe itself.

To be spiritual is to realize your purpose of life.

To be spiritual is to bring peace and love in your life.

To be spiritual is to treat everyone with equality.

To be spiritual is to be born again (becoming human again).

The need of the hour is to raise our consciousness and to help each other in their spiritual journey by spreading love and peace in the world,and this could be only achieved through shift in our thinking.

    Surviving Grief

    When life gives us pain,it also gives us blessings

    Sometimes in our life we feel a series of emotions,as if a whirlpool of emotions are going to drown us in it.We try to resist,but it catches with us sooner or later.This is my understanding of grief,which I have felt deeply inside me.

    Nobody wants grief in their life,but when it comes,we cannot escape from it. It could be due to loss of loved one, any natural calamity, chronic physical disease, divorce, break up,etc.

    “Grief are those waves of shock which comes suddenly, but stays for a long period of time, trying to drown us in its tides, until we finally embrace it and learn to move ahead with a lesson it teaches us”.

    Grief is not just one emotion, it is a series of emotions and feelings including anger,depression,denial,resentment,guilt,sorrow,weeping or crying spells,insomnia,etc.It  makes one feel as if a hole has been created inside our heart and we find ourselves helpless in that situation.

    My grief

    Usually grief goes through a cycle of loss. According to the ‘Kubler-Ross model’,or the ‘Five stages of Grief ‘,a series of emotions are experienced, wherein the five stages are:

    1. DENIAL: The person is unable to accept the loss and thus deny that the loss has even occurred.

    2. ANGER: Feeling of anger towards that person for leaving us behind; towards  self for not able to stop it, and towards God.

    3. DEPRESSION: Becomes hopeless; goes in self-mode. Tries to become aloof from others, remain in its shell and keeps crying.

    4. BARGAINING : Person involve feels that something needs to be done to overcome it

    5. RESOLUTION: Find solution to a situation, embraces the loss and decides to move forwards.

    Many people remain stuck in either anger or depression phase throughout their life, trapped forever in the vicious cycle of grief.

    Although it remains in our heart, throughout our life, but we need to find a purpose, a resolution to come out of its vicious cycle, or else one could never see the beauty of life again.

    It’s time to analyse what else can be done in life; what lesson have we learnt. I believe that most of the pain and suffering teaches us a lesson and leads us to a new direction; we just need to find that direction, a purpose to continue with our life.
