Something Missing in life .......

Have you ever thought when we think, that we have all the things(worldly) in life like handsome money ,caring family -children,good home, good friends & good job then also why many of us feel sometime that still something is missing from our life , there is something which we need but we don't know what exactly we want. Why sometimes any of our accessories , gadgets , friends , family do not attract us and instead we want to sit alone for few moments....Sometimes when we are busy we do not feel that but sometimes when we are alone, or may be in a crowd ,we can feel that emptiness.
Great ones say that spirituality is basic requirement for every human being. (The problem is very few of us can relate this emptiness to spirituality otherwise most of us try to fill that empty space again with worldly things like accessories , gadgets, food , friends etc.) If you are fulfilling that(spiritual) demand you may feel contented but if spirituality is lacking from your life you will feel that emptiness.
Now the question arises what is spirituality? Usually We mix up spirituality with religion. But spirituality is far ahead than being religious.
A person may not wear saffron clothes , s/he may not visit temples regularly or s/he may not have beads garland, but still s/he can be spiritual because s/he knows the truth of life. They know - who really are they , what is the purpose of their life and they always remember that.
There are various paths to spirituality and meditation is one of them.
Meditation , usually we think can be done by sitting quietly in a peaceful place. But this is not the only type of meditation. There are many kinds of meditation. That I will try to explain in my next post.

  2. Very nice point. To be religious may rather be to follow some kind of traditions, attend church or going to the temple, but who knows how much deep that person wonders in the the secret of his faith.

    Spiritual person is someone who is having very strong faith and asks lots of questions and tries to answer them and also live them.

  3. Religion used to provide the much needed law and order to kingdoms, like the current Constitutions for countries. And is a way to help control our basic urges in check. More realistically to serve as guide and direction towards spirituality
