What is Spirituality?
Definition of spirituality was engraved in our minds, by our society even before we questioned it. Most of our Beliefs revolve around god, worshipping in a religion, following saints or devoting ourselves to follow society’s shared beliefs. In Total Freedom, J Krishnamurti explained it beautifully. Those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows.
Do you test yourself or distract yourself?
When you set goals or start a new hobby, such as jogging in the morning, starting writing, or daily meditation. Does your mind pop up with these thoughts – “It’s cold outside, not in a mood, feeling tried, check emails, check messages, let’s watch X series on Netflix” Do you obey to your brain or discard it and push yourself? In an uncomfortable situation our brain generates distracting thoughts and tries to move to a comfortable zone, once you surrender, it will succeed.
