Spirituality

I always had an amazing fascination about the way Life happens to each one of us in a very different way. It is like a journey in which everyone is on a quest that takes us through the various levels of exploration, experiences and experiments. This journey takes amazing twists and turns, going through the highs and lows, pleasures and pain, success and failures bringing forth a plethora of emotions that stay within us, grow within us and either make or break us.

Everything in life is like a Big bang that either breaks things around us into pieces or directs it towards fulfilment and peace. Every one of us has an ability to connect with life in an unique fashion and find our own art of living it by cultivating our thoughts and responses.

The patterns of our mind and our habits apparently take shape in quite a random fashion. Though environmental factors do affect them, inherently there are certain preferences with which we connect with our lives. These preferences are constantly seeking fulfilment and so can be called our Desires.

Everyone one of us are thus born with some traits that start defining our individuality and the way we deal with our desires and the life that is happening to us. Also, since such uniqueness creates individual perspectives, our interaction and involvement in each other’s lives can snowball into possibilities beyond decisive anticipation.

We human beings however, are gifted with amazing faculties that can go beyond mundane needs of nourishment, rest, reproduction and defence. We are gifted with a free-will to experiment with our lives, as seeded by our desires. So the way our thoughts deal with our free-will decides our Fate.

Since at every given point of Time we know certain things and we certainly do not know some, we constantly are either living our life by digging into our past experiences or anxiously waiting for our Future.

Though our memory and imagination keep on feeding on to our abilities to effectively deal with such uncertainty, our emotions often cloud our thinking and makes things difficult. This is when we come to know the limits of our faculties.

But there is one more ability that can be developed if one observes the detailed built-in connect in nature that takes care of everything that is appearing, growing and perishing. Such a connect, empirically suggests a wonderful design that essentially links everything that is dividing and multiplying, in a principle of mystic unica ( mysterious union).

This starts configuring our faculties to bridge the missing links of our quest, overcoming the limitations of our Faculties into a Dimension that goes beyond Time and Space yet keeps us at Peace. That dimension is Spirituality.
