Spirituality, if seen in the right way, is a universal way of living a complete and balanced life. In today's era, when we have made a lot of scientific and material progress, the challenge before us individually and socially is to make the same amazing progress in the field of spirituality.
Each one of us has got a limited life on this earth. In it we have this rare opportunity to discover the purpose of our life and try to understand its meaning. It is the tendency of man that he wants to know and understand things. Scientists are engaged in this work but the tools they use are limited both physically and intellectually. Saints and Sufis have been searching for the mystery of life and death for centuries and they have all come to the conclusion that we can know this mystery only on a spiritual level. Spiritual journey is to experience the spiritual realms which are beyond the intellect and mind and all of which seem mysterious to us. This is the reason why spirituality is also called mysticism.
Spirituality is such a science which gives the power of love, peace, happiness and discretion in our life. It is a practical way of living that enriches our inner life and also improves our interpersonal relationships. The basic principle of spirituality is that each one of us is actually a soul which has come in this physical body for a short period of time, this time may be twenty, fifty, sixty, eighty or a hundred years but after death each one has to leave this world.
Where was our soul before coming to this world. Where will it go after leaving here? What is the purpose of this world and this life. These are some of the basic questions to understand human life.
Saints and Sufis are the awakened men who have explored this subject and solved these questions. He explains that the purpose of our life is to unite our soul with the divine and gives us a way to achieve this purpose. Various methods have been taught over the centuries to reconcile with the Lord, but in today's age we need a method that suits the needs of modern life. This form of spirituality gives us countless opportunities to improve our lives and the lives of others in the world.
The journey of the soul begins upon contact with the Light of the Lord and the infinite word. The stream of light and sound starts from the Lord and goes back to the Lord. We can catch this stream on the third eye or the Shivanetra. It is the contact point of the soul located in the body and the stream of light and sound. If we concentrate our attention on this point, we can fly in the celestial spheres. This stream will eventually lead us back to our source, the Lord. This method of meditation is very easy and simple. When we meditate within, we rise above the body and reach the divine realms within us. With continued practice, we come to believe that we can connect to light and sound, that there is life beyond this physical body, and that there are many spiritual realms full of divine consciousness. We ourselves have to discover the secrets of the difference. Those who practice daily have proved the truth that there is a world beyond this world.
Through the practice of Jyoti and Shruti, we find the love, peace, harmony and joy we are so desperately seeking. By doing so, we become part of a group of people who are working towards establishing peace and unity in the world.
