Some Spiritual Queries Answered
Some queries have been raised with regard to my last post:
(a) How the energy gets transformed?
(b) What are the signs of a person who is flush with "Spiritual energy"?
Well, I am of the opinion that Almighty bestows upon every new born, without any discrimination, with same amount of "formless" energy.
As a child grows up, the energy starts channelising in a particular direction, according to a person's "dharma"(nature). For example, a person having proclivity for wrestling utilizes the energy in building muscular physique. A budding scholar may use it for studying voluminous books, narratives.
Here I want to emphasize that a person may convert the "gifted" energy into physical or mental energy according to his disposition, but the total energy remains same in each and every person.
Although a wrestler has much physical energy, he is generally a dimwit, very less sexual urge. Likewise, I have observed that a sex addict remains perennially jaded. Similarly, intellectuals are mainly found to be physically weak, prone to various diseases.
Very rightly Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya had proclaimed that "Sexual energy" can be converted into "Spiritual energy" through continuous meditation.
I understand that in the contemporary times, many may find the whole idea of meditation bewildering, infeasible. My view is that even if one simply chant the name of "Govinda"(Almighty) lovingly, regularly, one's "Sexual energy" would be transformed into "Spiritual energy" gradually, automatically.
There is absolutely no need to visit any place of worship. No need to pay obeisances to self styled "gurus" for "guru mantras". Believe me, 99.99% of the present day "babas" are plain fraudsters, having mammoth business empires. Just chant the "mantras" as enshrined in our "Shastras"(sacred books) like "Om Namo Narayana" or "Waheguru" regularly, preferably in a quiet, secluded place. Surely you will find wonderful changes happening within you.
(b) Well, let me first of all bust a very popular myth. For majority of the people, "being religious" means "being spiritual". The fact, however, is that a spiritual person can be likened to a university graduate whereas a religious person is only a preschool child. A spiritual person is at a much higher pedestal than a religious person. For a religious person, God is confined, incarcerated within the walls of the "dair"(temple) or "haram"(mecca). A spiritual person, on the other hand, perceives the omniscient God everywhere -- in an ant or in an elephant, in the ecstatic dance of Mirabai, in the frightening, deafening roar of a thunderstorm, in the sweet fragrance of "Mogra"(Jasmine) flowers, in the sweet smile of an infant.
A spiritual person can never even think of harming others as he discerns his own reflection in others.
I have found that the faces of persons, high on spiritual energy, have an ethereal, divine glow.
They just ooze with love and compassion. They love all the beings without cause, without expectation, without exception.
